Summary
Jesse Zwaan is a Senior Product Engineer based in New York with 13 years of hands-on experience building data-driven products across startups and large tech companies. He has worked at Facebook as a Data Engineer and shipped production systems for fast-growing startups like Wonderbly and Wagestream, and most recently focuses on product engineering at Anterior. Jesse blends backend, firmware and full-stack experience—from early firmware roles to founding a high-frequency trading platform—to solve performance and data challenges. He’s comfortable in high-velocity environments, having moved between founding, contracting and senior engineering roles where rapid iteration mattered. While he describes himself simply as someone who loves code and data, his career shows a pattern of tackling both low-level systems and product-facing features. Trained at the University of Amsterdam, he pairs technical breadth with an appetite for building practical, scalable solutions.
