Software Engineer at Whatnot
New York, New York, United States
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJack Bowman is a Full Stack Software Engineer with a decade of experience building low-latency, production-grade systems across startups and research labs. He has driven end-to-end projects from real-time manufacturing and robotics control at Toggle Industries to sub-100ms streaming tools for autonomous vehicle research at the University of Michigan, often as the sole or early engineer. Proficient in TypeScript, Go, Python, ROS, Docker, gRPC and Postgres, he excels at performance profiling, multithreaded programming, and re-architecting legacy stacks into modular, testable systems. Jack pairs technical execution with product-minded work—conducting user interviews, shipping CRM and billing tooling, and supporting founders across timezones. Now based in New York and currently at Whatnot, he brings startup grit plus research rigor to safety- and latency-sensitive domains. A detail people often miss: he has repeatedly improved systems by orders of magnitude (e.g., a 63x speedup in device connectivity analysis) rather than just incremental optimizations.
