Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJason Tokoph is a Senior Staff Software Engineer in Los Angeles with over 15 years of hands-on engineering experience and more than 20 years of full-stack practice, focused recently on reliability, scalability, and incident management at Coinbase. He’s a repeat founder and early startup builder—co-founding Blockspring (YC S14) where the team built serverless-like tooling before AWS Lambda, and earlier creating consumer messaging and profile startups that led to acquisitions. Jason blends deep systems and product instincts from a University of Illinois CS background with operational grit, often “running toward the fire” during incidents to restore service and harden platforms. Known for pragmatic leadership across distributed systems and scalable services, he pairs entrepreneurial curiosity (and an offbeat Github handle wigglezipheartpeach) with a proven track record of shipping resilient infrastructure in high-stakes environments.
