Summary
Jamie Yang is an engineering manager with 11 years of software engineering experience and 2.5+ years in technical leadership, currently driving engineering at Wealthfront from Los Angeles. She has a strong track record building and scaling full-stack and distributed systems—growing a critical product team from a single remaining engineer to a 10+ squad that preserved millions in revenue, and later expanding teams to 20+ across time zones at UKG. Jamie blends hands-on technical depth (Spring, Angular, GraphQL, cloud and event-sourced microservices) with pragmatic people leadership, mentoring juniors into senior contributors and aligning product and engineering to tackle tech debt alongside feature delivery. Her focus on measurable outcomes led to a 50% reduction in incidents and post-release escalations through targeted OKRs and process changes. Colleagues describe her as a strategic operator who balances customer urgency, operational stability, and team growth while producing clear technical documentation and effective cross-functional collaboration.
