Summary
Elliott Carlson is a senior engineering manager with two decades of hands-on software and systems experience and over a decade in leadership roles at companies like GoDaddy, Squarespace, Lyft, and Rent The Runway. He blends deep full-stack technical fluency—from PHP, Python and Node.js to MongoDB, Redis and large-scale server orchestration—with a track record of building product-facing engineering teams and shipping measurable operational improvements (for example, self-service retail scanners and ERP integrations). Known for solving problems others call impossible, he moves comfortably between legacy stacks and modern infrastructure, having administered large Linux fleets and led migrations and high-availability services. Elliott’s background spans startups to large consumer platforms, giving him a pragmatic approach to architecture, cost-saving engineering, and cross-functional delivery. Based in New York, he pairs a curiosity for new languages and protocols with a bias for automating repeatable processes and mentoring engineering talent.
