Jared Zoneraich is a founder and engineering leader with 12 years of experience building developer-facing infrastructure and front-end systems, most recently founding PromptLayer to shape AI engineering tooling and now serving as Builder in Residence at Cognition. He blends hands-on product engineering—from React front-ends and DevOps monitoring to developer tools—with early-stage startup grit, having been the 9th engineer at Tecton and led PromptLayer as CEO. A UC Berkeley EECS alum, Jared’s background includes internships at Google and Facebook and early work that contributed to acquisitions (Implisit → Salesforce, Tecton → Databricks). He has a track record of launching programs and products that scale—starting the first high school hackathon in his area and recruiting notable mentors—and brings an operator-founder perspective to building infrastructure that helps other engineers ship faster. An understated strength is his cross-domain fluency: cybersecurity research, civic tech, and product engineering inform his pragmatic approach to AI infrastructure.
