Senior🎓
Top SchoolJason Cust is a founder, interim CTO, and seasoned software leader with over 25 years in engineering and more than a decade of senior leadership, currently focused on scaling early-stage engineering orgs and stepping fully into CTO roles. He architects secure, compliant platforms (SOC 2, GDPR, ISO 27001, FedRAMP) and has repeatedly taken products from zero to one while improving time-to-market through CI/CD, observability, and clear product–engineering alignment. At Unqork he led 25+ engineers as Chief Data Architect and Director of Engineering, defining enterprise data governance and compliance across business units. He combines hands-on delivery—having founded startups and built full stacks since the early web—with organizational design skills that turn engineering into a predictable force multiplier. Known for mentoring senior ICs and managers, he builds high-trust teams that ship under pressure and balance speed with risk. Based in New York, he also runs a consultancy delivering cloud, data, and compliance advisory to fintech and SaaS clients, and contributes to open-source projects.
