Gordon Diggs is a people-focused engineering leader with 16 years of experience building and scaling cross-functional teams and product platforms, currently leading Ecosystem engineering at Stripe in New York. He has a track record of shipping user-facing products and platform initiatives at The New York Times and Sema4, and has driven organizational growth, hiring, and process improvements across companies from startups to large enterprises. Technically hands-on early in his career and as an open-source contributor, he improves robustness, security, and observability—evident in work like strengthening a universal code-quality CLI with safer YAML handling, UID/GID execution, and statsd probes. He pairs strategic product sense (including interim GM experience) with a knack for operational detail and developer experience, and outside work organizes NYC’s mechanical keyboard meetup scene.
