Summary

Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJacob Rose is a Senior Full Stack Engineer based in New York with 19 years of experience building and scaling web and payments systems. He has deep, hands-on expertise across the full stack—front-end React/TypeScript, back-end PHP/Python, and relational data platforms like MySQL/Vitess and BigQuery—and a track record of delivering complex cross-border payment and tax solutions at scale. At Etsy he led architecture and implementation efforts for major payments features (Klarna, NetBanking, PayPal migrations) and internal platforms such as VAT estimation and third-party reporting, blending product sensitivity with regulatory compliance. He’s comfortable shifting between IC and leadership roles, having served as an engineering manager and tech lead, and he thrives on solving thorny integrations between commerce, finance, and compliance. Colleagues would note his knack for turning messy real-world constraints into simple, auditable systems—whether for checkout flows in India or migrating large seller bases.
