Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlex Withrow is a resilient engineering leader and co-founder with a decade of hands-on experience building high-reliability systems that operate in adversarial and regulated environments, from classified SCIFs at Lockheed Martin to hyperscale storage and financial systems at Bridgewater. As Head of Software at Itera he’s translating software workflows into hardware-level automation—aiming to "patch a PCB with a pull request"—and thrives on problems that are hard to get right. His background in site reliability across AWS, Ping Identity, VMware/Heptio, and Ibotta reflects deep operational rigor and a track record of productionizing resilient infrastructure. Comfortable in both startup and enterprise contexts, he blends systems engineering discipline with product-minded engineering to shrink feedback loops between code and physical devices. Based in Denver, he brings a pragmatic, security-conscious mindset to building observable, auditable systems.
