Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJohn Ong is a seasoned software engineer and engineering leader with 11 years of experience building products and scaling teams across health tech and platform engineering in New York. He has moved from full-stack roles at Oscar Health to tech lead and manager positions shaping billing, eligibility, and member-facing systems, then served as Headway’s first Engineering Manager to establish hiring, promotion, and org processes. Currently at Vanta, he blends hands-on backend work (Python, gRPC, PostgreSQL, Kafka, GCP) with organization design, reliably shipping critical infrastructure for regulated domains. His background in electrical engineering and early systems work (Raytheon, Qualcomm) gives him a systems-minded approach to product problems, and an unexpected creative side shows through a multi-year stint as a contributing photographer. Pragmatic, process-oriented, and comfortable at the intersection of product, platform, and people, he excels at turning ambiguous problems into scalable teams and reliable systems.
