Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJack Wilson is a senior software engineer focused on product security with 12 years of experience building secure, production-grade systems from San Francisco. At Slack since 2019 he's progressed from security engineer to senior roles, bringing deep practical experience in threat mitigation, secure engineering practices, and product-focused security hardening. His background spans fast-moving startups and larger enterprises—roles at Mavenlink and thoughtbot—paired with a formative analytical stint in GE’s Financial Management Program, giving him uncommon fluency in connecting technical security work to business risk and compliance. He sharpened his low-level and adversarial skills during a self-directed residency at Recurse Center, learning Rust and tackling hands-on security challenges like Cryptopals and Hack The Box. Known for pairing and cross-functional collaboration, he blends pragmatic engineering with a security-first mindset to help teams ship reliable products.
