Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolChris Zehner is a seasoned engineering leader with 11 years of experience building and scaling mission-critical systems across fintech and health tech, now serving as Head of Engineering for USVC & Meridian at AngelList in San Francisco. He pairs hands-on technical fluency with people-first management—self-described as a patient debugger and inveterate dabbler—steering teams from risk engineering at Mercury to CTO responsibilities at a BSA/AML automation startup. His background spans product-facing staff engineering roles at Commure and Atrium and technical leadership at Facebook, giving him deep operational experience in fraud, automation, and distributed systems. Comfortable toggling between code and strategy, he combines an economics foundation and international studies with a pragmatic, curious approach to problem solving that surfaces non-obvious tradeoffs in product and risk.
