Top SchoolJesse Swidler is a Staff Software Engineer in San Francisco with over a decade of experience building cloud-native SaaS products and developer-facing infrastructure at startups and scaleups like Okta, Udacity, AKASA, and Observe. He combines full-stack fluency—Go, Typescript/React, Java, Kubernetes, Postgres, Elasticsearch—with deep systems experience provisioning half a million VMs per week and designing secure, high-performance backends. As a former CTO he’s run product, hiring, and customer-facing ops for a venture-backed startup, giving him hands-on product instincts beyond pure engineering. Jesse has a track record of shipping developer tools and education-focused platforms that materially improved user outcomes, and he often bridges gaps between UX-driven frontends and robust cloud infrastructure.
