Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolCarter Hesterman is a Head of Engineering with 11 years of experience building and scaling customer-facing SaaS products from initial prototypes to production-grade systems. He combines hands-on development (still coding 20–30% of the time) with strategic leadership, having led AI product initiatives and architected compliance and policy tooling that drove customer retention and predictable delivery. At JupiterOne he shipped AI-driven features like an AI Virtual Assistant and Control Author using LangGraph, LangSmith, and AWS Bedrock, demonstrating a knack for translating customer questions into low-latency, context-aware solutions. He’s equally comfortable with product strategy and nitty-gritty engineering—having built storefronts, LMS platforms, and marketplaces as a consultant and earlier work on in-browser IDEs and data visualization. Based in Saratoga Springs, Utah, he pairs a Master’s in MIS with a pragmatic, business-first approach to engineering that emphasizes measurable impact and cost-efficient infrastructure. Outside of work he’s a self-described burger connoisseur, hinting at a detail-oriented palate that carries into his engineering and leadership style.
