Hunter Dougless is an engineering manager with over a decade of leadership experience and more than fourteen years building production web systems, currently leading teams at Airbnb after recent roles at Mapbox and Spotify. He blends full-stack fluency—from PHP, Python, and modern JavaScript to infrastructure tooling like Docker, Kubernetes, and AWS—with a design-minded background in information architecture and human factors. Known for reducing friction through internal tooling and automation, he has shipped scalable, performance-focused architectures and progressive web experiences across media and consumer platforms. Comfortable across monoliths and microservices, he pairs hands-on coding with sprint planning, risk analysis, and technical documentation to drive predictable delivery. His dual training in graphic design and psychology gives him an uncommon edge in UX-driven engineering decisions and cross-disciplinary communication. Based in New York, he balances deep technical breadth with a knack for rapid prototyping and pragmatic product engineering.
