Summary
Jennifer Hwang is an engineering manager based in San Francisco with 12 years of experience building reliable backend and platform services across startups and scale-ups. She progressed from hands-on roles at Redfin, Digit, Stripe, and Render to lead Core Services at Retool, bringing deep familiarity with datastores, storage efficiency, and internal developer tooling. Comfortable shipping full-stack and mobile features earlier in her career, she pairs pragmatic product sensibilities with systems-level thinking from a Georgia Tech CS background. Colleagues know her for driving operational improvements and owning analytics and experimentation pipelines that bridge product metrics and engineering execution. An engineer who still ships code, she blends people leadership with a habit of tackling the infrastructure problems teams avoid.
