Summary
Jonathan Chiu is a Senior Software Engineer II with 13 years of experience building customer-facing web products and growth-focused systems, currently driving growth engineering at Brilliant.org. He has a strong front-end specialization—modernizing legacy stacks to React/TypeScript/Apollo/GraphQL—and a track record of shipping high-impact experiments and platform migrations at Skillshare, Carta, and Wayfair. Jonathan has led cross-functional efforts around payments, teacher payouts, search, and performance (including Lighthouse CI and Core Web Vitals), and has been the sole engineer on several mission-critical features. He pairs product-minded engineering with pragmatic infrastructure work, from image resizing APIs to porting monoliths to modern schemas. Based in New York, he combines startup agility with enterprise-scale rigor and a history of mentoring hires and shaping frontend standards. An understated strength is his knack for turning legacy constraints into repeatable tooling and processes that accelerate teams.
