Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJason Scherer is a seasoned software engineer and front-end technical lead with 15 years of experience designing pixel-perfect mobile and web experiences, currently leading front-end work at Sigma after a long tenure at Google on YouTube Music and Google Play Music. He combines deep client-side engineering and graphics/UX sensibilities with strong communication and mentorship skills, repeatedly stepping into tech-lead roles to drive cross-functional projects and technical direction. At Google he migrated apps to a proprietary cross-platform stack, led RTL and accessibility launches, and owned privacy/security compliance and release processes—evidence of both product-minded engineering and operational rigor. Earlier work at R/GA shows a long history of creative experimentation in interactive kiosks, signage, and data-driven visualizations, highlighting his taste for the intersection of arts and technology. Jason is curious about open source and experimentation, and brings a pragmatic mix of hands-on implementation and design leadership well suited to Technical Lead or Staff engineering roles.
