Top SchoolJamie Grier is a seasoned technology leader with a decade of focused experience building cloud-native stream processing platforms and a career spanning engineering, architecture, and executive strategy. Currently CTO at Field, he previously led Confluent’s strategic pivot to an Apache Flink–based cloud service and united top Flink talent through the Immerok acquisition. Jamie has repeatedly been the founding or lead engineer for enterprise streaming efforts at companies such as Splunk, Lyft, and Twitter, delivering zero-touch, auto-scaling stream processing services at massive scale.

Notably, his Flink expertise produced a prototyped 200x efficiency gain at Twitter and has driven product direction across multiple organizations and the Flink community. Based in Truckee, CA, he pairs technical depth with a practical operator’s instinct and an appetite for recruiting and building world-class distributed systems teams.
