Senior🎓
Top SchoolJason Kottler is a seasoned software engineer with 20+ years of hands-on experience delivering pragmatic, production-focused systems across industries from defense to travel tech. He combines deep technical craftsmanship—expertise in Java, C++, Python, cloud migrations, containerization, and constraint solvers—with a pragmatic leadership style that emphasizes sustainable, technology-agnostic practices and measurable team improvements. Jason has led mission-critical migrations (Skyscanner), built NP-hard scheduling solvers (Administrate) and modernized legacy workflows and tooling (RhinoCorps), often reducing complexity through thoughtful architecture and developer-first processes. He coaches teams in async/distributed practices, documentation and OKR adoption, and brings lessons learned from inheriting messy code into championing testability and maintainability. Based in Albuquerque, he pairs a lifelong curiosity about languages and systems with a background in history and literature, which fuels clear communication and a long view on engineering trade-offs.
