Senior🎓
Top SchoolJake Schwartz is a Senior Software Architect with 11 years of experience designing and scaling backend data pipelines and search systems, particularly using Scala and Elasticsearch. Based in Portsmouth, NH, he has progressed from hands-on engineering to leadership roles at Zignal Labs, driving initiatives like migrating to automated CI/CD, modularizing applications into micro front-ends, and building a reusable data ingestion framework. He blends technical craftsmanship—refactoring legacy systems, optimizing queries, and improving CI performance—with process-driven improvements such as OKR alignment, documentation templates (arc42/C4), and developer productivity tooling. Jake’s background includes building high-throughput backends and MongoDB scaling early in his career, and he’s known for prototyping modern replacements for inefficient legacy components. A pragmatic mentor and occasional coder, he pairs deep systems knowledge with a surprising obsession for maximizing engineering productivity and locating the best local food trucks.
