Senior🎓
Top SchoolCorey Finley is an engineering manager with 12–13 years of experience building product-focused systems at startups, currently leading engineering efforts at Datadog after managing Data Governance at Catalyst. He excels at bridging Product and Engineering to remove user and internal bottlenecks, translating customer needs into roadmaps and permissioning systems that serve enterprise customers. Corey has a hands-on background shipping admin tooling, integrations, and data warehouse expansions, and he’s skilled at instituting Agile practices that protect team velocity and improve operational efficiency. He pairs career coaching and promotion-focused mentorship for direct reports with pragmatic cross-functional processes that reduce interrupt-driven work. Based in New York, he brings a developer’s attention to detail—rooted in years of Ruby on Rails engineering—while focusing on scalable, user-centric solutions for complex data access problems. An often-overlooked strength: he habitually builds first-stop support tools that both empower non-engineering teams and cut engineering toil.
