Summary
John Back is a Senior Engineering Manager with 13 years of experience building cloud-native, scalable solutions across web and mobile platforms, currently leading engineering at Indeed. He progressed from hands-on development to senior leadership roles—including DevOps Director and Head of Engineering at P&G—where he balanced organization building, agile delivery, and operational excellence. Known for translating complex business needs into reliable, production-grade systems, he brings a pragmatic blend of DevOps rigor and people-first management. Based in Cincinnati, he combines enterprise experience with startup grit (notably at Casamatic and BlackbookHR), and is as comfortable shaping engineering strategy as he is diving into architecture and runbooks.
