Senior🎓
Top SchoolJon Pitcherella is a seasoned engineering leader with over a decade of experience building teams, systems, and product-driven engineering practices across mission-oriented organizations. He has led distributed engineering orgs and delivered measurable outcomes—from architecting high-performance Go APIs and retiring legacy systems to launching revenue-driving Stripe tax collection and production observability work that cut costs and improved reliability. Jon blends hands-on technical craft (Auth0 migrations, Postgres/Heroku stacks, Datadog/Databricks instrumentation) with deliberate people leadership—mentoring senior engineers, instituting RFCs, and defining team charters that emphasize continuous improvement and empathy. Currently exploring applied AI side projects and seeking purpose-driven roles, he pairs strategic product thinking with rigorous operational metrics to align engineering with business impact. Outside work he trains as a triathlete and home-brews, a discipline that mirrors his endurance-focused approach to long-term technical and organizational challenges.
