Adam Matan is an engineering manager and AI leader with 13 years of experience building cloud-native, serverless, and backend systems from prototype to production. Currently leading Compass’s AI group, he drives end-to-end ML lifecycle work—spanning generative AI, NLP, and computer vision—while mentoring cross-functional teams and creating centralized AI platforms. Previously a VP R&D and Director of Engineering, he has a track record of modernizing architectures, launching APIs, and boosting delivery velocity through CI/CD and microservices. He combines hands-on backend development (Python, TypeScript, Docker, IaC) with product-focused leadership, having rebuilt search engines and platform tooling across multiple companies. A public speaker and organizer who founded Israel’s first Serverless conference, he brings developer-relations savvy to technical strategy. Based in Boston with a CS degree from Hebrew University, Adam is equally comfortable writing production code and steering long-term AI initiatives.
