Javier Kohen is a seasoned software and reliability engineering leader with 25+ years of hands-on experience and a proven track record scaling distributed systems, high-volume data pipelines, and operations teams. He has driven reliability and support engineering at Google—building air-gapped, supportable Kubernetes platforms and bringing Anthos/Kubernetes to on-prem production for Alphabet—before stepping into a Vice President role at PDT Partners. Comfortable leading both small, offshore startups and large cross-functional organizations, he blends deep SRE practice with product-minded tooling and roadmap planning. Javier is a quick learner who thrives in disconnected and constrained environments, and his early background founding messaging startups and security tooling development gives him a pragmatic, security-aware perspective. Based in Hyde Park, NY, he combines technical depth with people leadership and a history of shipping reliable infrastructure under real-world constraints.
