Jérôme Decq is a senior software development manager with 9+ years leading cloud and distributed systems teams, currently scaling autonomous engineering orgs at Zoox after seven years driving managed services at AWS. He bootstrapped and grew high-impact products like Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus and Amazon MQ, combining product instincts with hands-on operational rigor—he routinely served on escalation rotations and instituted robust on-call and review practices. Earlier roles at Etsy and Yahoo honed his ability to raise site stability, refactor legacy systems, and transition teams to agile, experiment-driven delivery. Known for people-first leadership, he aligns team structure to business strategy, builds career frameworks, and sustains developer enthusiasm while shipping large-scale services. Based in Sunnyvale and grounded in an MS from CentraleSupélec, he blends deep systems engineering roots with proven operational excellence.
