Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJoe Conway is a senior engineering leader with 22 years of experience scaling product and engineering teams across startups and high-growth consumer businesses, currently leading engineering at Robinhood. He combines hands-on technical depth—from building iOS and Svelte apps to contributing substantive fixes and features to PostgreSQL's dblink extension—with a people-first management style that accelerates delivery and raises engineering standards. Joe has taken products from 0 to 1 and rebuilt legacy stacks into scalable platforms (notably migrating Rails from Heroku to AWS and 100x’ing compliance analysis with a Postgres/dbt/BQ pipeline). He repeatedly transforms small teams into high-performance organizations, cutting delivery timelines from months to weeks while instituting modern practices like code review, automated deploys and observability. Based in Oakland, he pairs startup urgency with the operational rigor of mature teams and still enjoys building in Swift and Svelte in his spare time.
