Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJake Magner is a product and engineering leader with a decade-plus track record at Alation, rising from founding software engineer to Senior Director of Product Management and Director of Engineering while building core search, discovery, and metadata infrastructure. He combines hands-on systems design—authoring search, auto-titling, lineage graphs and ingestion pipelines—with people leadership that scaled teams and shipped a major architecture migration enabling cross-asset annotations. Based in San Francisco and trained in IEOR at UC Berkeley, Jake blends data-driven product instincts (Kaggle competitor with top-percent finishes) with practical operational experience from early field management roles. Now exploring what to build next, he brings rare depth across search, platform, and analytics with a bias toward turning complex data problems into usable, trustable products.
