Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJoanna Power is a senior software engineer and architect with 10+ years of experience building scalable, resilient backend systems across startups and large organizations, currently contributing to Google Geo. She has deep hands-on expertise in cloud-native architectures (AWS), APIs, and data pipelines—having led platform and data efforts at Textio and the Allen Institute for AI where she worked extensively with Scala and Python. Joanna excels at modernizing legacy systems, encapsulating functionality behind clean interfaces, and driving engineering best practices as a technical leader who leads by example. Comfortable in small, fast-moving teams as well as large orgs, she enjoys designing loosely coupled services and performant GraphQL/REST APIs. Based in Seattle, she pairs an MS in Computer Science with a long history of production engineering (from Amazon to Cozi) and a pragmatic focus on observability, testing, and maintainability. Joanna’s not-obvious strength is turning shifting product priorities into stable platform capabilities while keeping development enjoyable for her teammates.
