Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBasil Siddiqui is a seasoned engineering leader and founder with 13 years of experience building product and platform teams for startups in proptech, manufacturing, and developer services. Currently VP of Engineering at Hadrian, he leads efforts to scale autonomous factories that accelerate aerospace and defense parts production, drawing on prior founder/CTO roles at Up&Up and Estate where he tackled renter-focused fintech and property management products. He combines hands-on software engineering roots—from early roles at Lob and Branch—with strategic fundraising and operator experience working with top-tier investors like Founders Fund, a16z, Khosla, and Goldman Sachs. Based in Los Angeles, Basil is equally comfortable shipping code and shaping product-market fit, and he often operates at the intersection of hardware-driven manufacturing and consumer-facing platforms. One less obvious strength is his continuity across multiple startup life stages—from seed to growth—giving him a pragmatic lens on hiring, scaling engineering culture, and aligning technical roadmaps with capital efficiency.
