Jacob Schein is a San Francisco–based software engineer with a decade of experience spanning founding a startup and engineering roles at venture-backed firms.

He blends hands-on systems and product development with a founder’s perspective on shipping and scaling web platforms. A Washington University in St. Louis computer science graduate, he pairs academic foundations with practical startup grit. Less obvious: his career shows a pattern of moving between building new ventures and joining established engineering teams, suggesting strength in both early-stage product creation and integrating into larger orgs.
