Senior🎓
Top SchoolDana Yakoobinsky is a Senior Software Engineer in the San Francisco Bay Area with 11 years of engineering experience and five years focused on shipping front-end web experiences using React and Redux, complemented by backend work in Python and Ruby. She’s driven by user journeys and has led cross-functional projects at Pinterest—owning Homefeed/Closeup features, mentoring junior engineers, and even picking up Android to ship experiments—and now brings that product-focused mindset to Airbnb. Her background in biomedical engineering and hands-on R&D gives her a disciplined, data-driven approach to problem solving and product design that often surfaces in experimentation and metrics-driven feature launches. Dana has a track record of turning research-driven ideas into shipped features (including contributions to Pinterest’s engineering blog) and fostering team practices like retrospectives to improve delivery.
