Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJon Kruger is a staff software engineer and technical leader in Columbus, OH with 16 years of experience building and scaling engineering and analytics organizations across fintech, insurance, and energy. He combines hands-on delivery—spanning data engineering, backend systems, and full-stack projects—with proven leadership in hiring, mentoring, and process redesign, having helped grow teams from single digits to hundreds of engineers. At Upstart he led cross-cutting efforts such as a successful monolith breakup, an enterprise reporting API, and the founding of an analytics engineering function that became the source of truth for external partners. Jon’s strengths are technical strategy and organizational coaching: he designs foundational data models, fixes costly infrastructure bottlenecks, and trains the next generation of leaders. He’s equally comfortable in the codebase as he is in stakeholder rooms, and often surfaces practical, data-driven fixes that reduce toil while accelerating product delivery.
