Jared Scheib is a product-focused engineering leader and founder with 11 years of experience building consumer and developer-facing products, currently serving as Head of Product Engineering at Merciv in New York. He blends hands-on full‑stack engineering with product strategy, having built and shipped everything from Chronograf and InfluxDB front-end work to Paperspace’s Gradient MLOps platform and an iOS/web social video app, Pineapple.

A former filmmaker and linguaphile, he brings creative storytelling and facilitation skills to product discovery and team mentorship. His background in neuroscience, film, and software gives him a rare mix of empathy, systems thinking, and technical craft.
