Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlex Young is a multidisciplinary software engineer with 11 years of experience building mobile and backend systems, currently serving as an Emergency Medical Technician in New York City while transitioning from a Staff Software Engineer role that helped launch a $10M SaaS platform for IMG Academy. He combines hands-on iOS expertise (Swift, Objective-C) and full-stack skills (TypeScript, Go, Node, Postgres, AWS) with operational rigor—owning CI/CD pipelines, on-call rotations, and blameless postmortems. Alex has repeatedly led greenfield projects, shipping native apps, multi-tenant architectures, and integrated vendor ecosystems (Nylas, Sendbird, APNS, Firebase) at scale. He’s as invested in team health and psychological safety as in product metrics, mentoring peers into productive contributors and instituting triage and QA practices that reduce interruptions. An engineer who pairs clinical-style discipline with product-focused iteration, he thrives in environments that prioritize continuous learning and measurable outcomes.
