Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJames Carnegie is a Staff Security Engineer with 12 years of hands-on experience building and securing cloud-native systems across startups and large enterprises. His career spans leadership and deep engineering roles at Datadog, Docker, Atomist and Oracle, with a strong background in continuous delivery and developer tooling. He combines practical security operations with platform engineering know-how, having moved between founding-stage product work and principal engineering at influential infrastructure companies. Trained in electrical engineering and machine learning at the University of Bristol, he brings a systems-first perspective and an appetite for automation that surfaces in both delivery pipelines and security controls. Notably, James has repeatedly operated at the intersection of developer experience and risk reduction—shaping secure developer workflows rather than treating security as an afterthought.
