Senior🎓
Top SchoolDavid Shere is a Staff Software Engineer based in Berkeley with 11 years of experience building data platforms, pipelines, and backend services that deliver timely, accurate insights. He has led data platform efforts at Nuna—designing scalable, reliable systems spanning Spark, Scala, Databricks, Airflow, AWS and Terraform—and now brings that expertise to Affirm. Comfortable across the full data stack, David pairs pragmatic engineering (APIs, runtime config, notebook-based analytics) with a relentless customer focus and a bias toward rapid time-to-value. His background in economics and political work informs a strength for translating ambiguous business questions into production-grade data solutions, and he’s known for mentoring analysts into production-minded engineers. Outside of work he tinkers and ships personal projects, continually adopting new tools and languages to solve problems when conventional approaches fall short.
