Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolChris Pine is an engineering manager with 10+ years of experience building and scaling diverse, high-performing teams and open-source ecosystems from Portland, Oregon. He has taken products from conception to commercial success—most recently leading Bufstream at Buf—and launched Sourcegraph’s Batch Changes from infancy to GA while managing multiple teams across developer tooling and AI clients. A hands-on leader with a background in backend Go systems and front-end work on major Sourcegraph repos, he blends technical depth (agent and tooling engineering) with practical product and GTM collaboration. Chris is known for institutionalizing bias-reducing hiring and calibration practices, and for growing teams where engineers feel safe to take risks and stretch themselves. His career traces back through large-scale browser and game-engine work to a math BA from Reed College, reflecting unusual breadth across systems, tooling, and product.
