Summary
Ali Mir is a San Francisco Bay Area software engineer and founder with 10 years of experience building product-led engineering teams and consumer platforms. As Co-Founder of HiringCafe and former engineering manager at Moralis Web3, Meta, Rippling, and DoorDash, he blends hands-on product development with technical leadership across APIs, payments, device management, and consumer iOS experiences. He single-handedly launched DoorDash’s convenience/grocery iOS product and built automation and Smart Menus that materially increased order sizes, demonstrating a knack for shipping revenue-driving features end-to-end. Comfortable in startup and scale-up environments, he has repeatedly founded and scaled marketplaces (ClassCode, HiringCafe) and enjoys turning vague problem statements into shipped products. Not obvious from titles: he frequently toggles between coding and strategy, preferring to lead by building prototypes that inform product direction.
