Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJess Szmajda is a seasoned engineering leader and founder with 16+ years building and scaling product-led technology teams across startups and hyperscale cloud businesses. Currently VP of Engineering for Secure Supply Chain at Capital One after running multiple AWS business units as a GM, Jess combines P&L ownership with hands-on product and architecture experience—from founding Optoro and growing it to $100M ARR to launching AxiosHQ and AWS Verified Access. A systems thinker and people developer, she has rebuilt and grown engineering organizations, led security and operations functions, and stayed deeply technical across stacks (Ruby, Elixir, Python, Typescript) while shipping AI and Zero Trust products. Based in Washington, DC, she’s equally comfortable writing original software as she is defining strategy, and she brings a founder’s grit plus an OSS-first mindset born of decades of coding since the modem era.
