Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJer Lance is a Detroit-based technology leader with 13+ years of experience building and scaling high-performing engineering teams and enterprise platforms. As Director at Invitae and formerly Director of Engineering at Rocket Mortgage, he led cross-functional teams that doubled platform capacity year-over-year, slashed outage time from hours per week to minutes per month, and increased throughput while growing headcount. He practices servant leadership, coaching, and psychological safety to unlock team creativity and sustainable delivery, and regularly shares lessons via writing, talks, and a podcast he co-hosts. Comfortable bridging hands-on technical strategy and people leadership, he has moved systems from legacy to resilient, highly available platforms. A former adjunct instructor and longtime community organizer for tech-focused conventions, he brings both teaching instincts and event-scale logistics experience to complex organizational problems. He’s equally likely to sketch an incident runbook as he is to host a thoughtful conversation about leadership on his podcast.
