Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolCory Hutchison is a repeat founder and seasoned technology executive with 11+ years building and scaling engineering organizations across startups and enterprise SaaS, now CEO of Hire Up in Barcelona. He blends hands-on backend craftsmanship—contributing to notable open-source Ruby projects like Shopify's tapioca and ruby-lsp—with strategic leadership that has driven multi-million dollar vendor cost reductions and cloud migrations. Cory has led platform transformations from monoliths to microservices, implemented company-wide feature flagging and resilience practices, and established RCA and compliance programs (SOC, HIPAA) that improved reliability. Comfortable toggling between code and C-suite priorities, he’s equally at home adding CLI features to a language server as he is negotiating vendor contracts. An MBA-trained technologist who built OneTrust’s early engineering organization, Cory pairs product-minded engineering with operational rigor and a taste for playful, chaotic-neutral tinkering.
