Sunnyvale, California, United States
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolIgor Podkhodov is an engineering leader with over a decade of hands-on software experience and 13+ years in engineering leadership, currently shaping monetization products at Meta from Sunnyvale. He has built and scaled cross-functional teams across consumer and autonomous vehicle domains—leading robotaxi client-facing stacks at Zoox and shipping core media and playback frameworks at Snap and Netflix. As a founder and CTO he drove a full-cycle AI friends product, blending ML, mobile, and backend systems, and now also scouts early opportunities as an LP and angel investor. Known for pragmatic refactors that reduce operational burden (e.g., cutting support needs and improving performance at Snapchat) and for turning prototypes into platform standards (Google Play Billing), he bridges low-level C++/drivers work to high-level product strategy. A Stanford Continuing Studies student in business management with an MS in Computer Science, he combines deep technical breadth with product-first leadership and a habit of finding value off the beaten path.
