Jake Levirne is a seasoned product and engineering leader with 11 years of senior experience building developer-focused platforms and startups, currently co-founding SpecStory to capture and surface AI coding journeys. Formerly Head of Product at Docker and a senior product leader at DigitalOcean, he led teams through product portfolio expansion, hyper-growth of developer tools, and a public company transition. He blends hands-on technical curiosity—rooted in a Cornell CS degree and early engineering/sales roles—with strategic operator instincts, having scaled product orgs of 40+ and driven large revenue and adoption gains. Jake champions "multiplayer, local-first" AI workspaces and brings a tinkerer’s mindset from prior roles at Docker, DigitalOcean, and his own ventures, pairing developer empathy with a track record of turning complex systems into broadly adopted products.
