Summary

Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJay Khatri is a product-focused software leader with 9 years of experience building full-stack systems, currently working on product at LaunchDarkly after co-founding and serving as CEO of Highlight, an open-source full-stack monitoring platform. He blends hands-on engineering—contributing to both frontend UI and backend GraphQL work for highlight.io—with product strategy and GTM experience from scaling a team of ex-YC, Microsoft, Google, and Datadog alumni. Prior roles at DeepMind and Google show his ability to design and deploy large-scale infrastructure and ML training systems used across research organizations. Jay is comfortable shipping across the stack, from dashboard UX tweaks to database schema changes, and has a practiced knack for turning observability needs into developer-facing products. Based in Seattle and a Y Combinator S20 alum, he combines startup grit with experience in enterprise environments. A less obvious strength: he pairs product instincts with an operator’s attention to implementation details, regularly committing code that directly improves user-facing debugging workflows.
