Frank Blechschmidt is a seasoned engineering leader with 12 years of experience building cloud-native platforms, microservices, and developer experience teams across Silicon Valley. Currently a Member of Technical Staff (Manager) at Anthropic, he has driven multi-cloud, scalable architectures and operational automation that measurably sped migrations and revenue expansion at dbt Labs and Lattice. He combines hands-on systems work in Python, Node.js, and Go with product-minded platform leadership—treating internal platforms as products and using metrics like SLOs and DORA to prioritize work. Notable wins include reducing cell-to-cell migration time by 80%, cutting CI costs and build times dramatically, and architecting rollback-safe deployment pipelines that shrink MTTR. Based in Sunnyvale, he brings a rare blend of large-enterprise experience (SAP, Box) and startup-scale execution, with a strong focus on developer productivity and global scalability.
