Top SchoolBrad Ruderman is a seasoned data and software engineering leader with 13+ years of experience building high-throughput ETL, streaming, and analytics platforms for growth-stage startups and consumer tech at scale. Currently Sr. Director of Data Engineering at Meta, he grew a team from 5 to 50+ for Instagram, owns canonical dataset strategy and core engagement metrics, and still codes daily. He previously led end-to-end data efforts at UpCounsel—building a realtime analytics warehouse, implementing Looker, and helping drive 10x top-of-funnel growth—combining engineering, product, and unit-economics-driven decision making.

A pragmatic problem-solver, he moves fluidly between implementing streaming ETL and shaping product/financial strategy, bringing a rare mix of operator mentality and consulting-born breadth.
