Top SchoolJason Rae is a Director of Engineering with 12+ years of hands-on software development and two years of DevOps experience, currently leading engineering at Zeitview (formerly DroneBase). He has guided products through the full lifecycle—from user research and technical specs to deployment, maintenance, and customer support—while championing agile, BDD/TDD practices. Technically versatile, he pairs a Ruby on Rails and JavaScript background with infrastructure skills in Chef, CentOS, PostgreSQL, and CI/CD tooling to deliver reliable, production-grade systems. He has a proven record in public-sector digital transformation and drone-related products, preferring work that creates positive societal impact. Recently relocated to Los Angeles, he’s seeking a progressive company and projects he can passionately back with both leadership and deep implementation experience. An early career in mobile porting and embedded Java gives him uncommon empathy for constrained environments and performance-sensitive systems.
