Senior🎓
Top SchoolJingwei Wu is a senior engineering leader with 16+ years of experience building large-scale distributed systems, big data platforms, and machine learning infrastructure across LinkedIn, Twitter, Tinder and startups. Currently Senior Director of Software Engineering at LinkedIn, he leads globally distributed teams to drive job-matching, ingestion, trust/quality and recommendation systems that power marketplace growth. His background blends deep systems expertise—from Oracle Streams replication and DB optimizations to realtime stream processing (contributions to Apache Heron)—with hands-on programming in Scala, Java, Python and C. Jingwei has repeatedly modernized monolithic services into scalable, low-latency architectures and built core ML/feature-store and A/B experimentation platforms that accelerate product iteration. He pairs a PhD-level research foundation in software architecture and reverse engineering with a founder’s instinct for practical, product-focused engineering. Less obvious: he moves comfortably between low-level database internals and high-level marketplace optimization, making him effective at translating research-grade ideas into production at scale.
