Seattle, Washington, United States
Summary
👤
SeniorAkin Olugbade is a product-focused engineering leader with nine years of experience designing developer and platform products across companies from Microsoft and Meta to high-growth startups and now OpenAI. He has repeatedly led 0-to-1 launches and platform-scale work—driving Windows Containers' resource improvements and Teams’ third-party app ecosystem at Microsoft, defining a north-star strategy and launching an internal dev tooling platform at Meta, and building analytics and session-replay products at Statsig that attracted acquisition. At TaxBit he owned a core platform supporting ~20 engineers and enabled record tax-form throughput and accuracy, demonstrating a knack for operational reliability under regulatory constraints. Based in Seattle with advanced training in ECE, he combines deep technical fluency with product strategy and a learning-first mindset, often picking up unfamiliar domains quickly to deliver practical systems. One less obvious strength: he consistently moves disparate developer workflows into unified, organically adopted platforms, reducing friction rather than imposing top-down mandates.
