Summary
Jonathan Cone is a seasoned Software Engineering Manager with 14 years of experience building and scaling cross-functional engineering teams for SaaS, eCommerce, and enterprise cloud products. He has repeatedly led migrations from legacy monoliths to microservice architectures, most recently guiding a re-architecture effort with Go, Postgres, and AWS, and now leads engineering at Paychex. Jonathan combines hands-on technical judgment with people-first management—hiring, mentoring, and growing engineers across U.S. and international timezones while keeping a high bar for architecture and delivery. Comfortable working directly with product, design, and QA, he’s pragmatic about trade-offs and skilled at translating strategic roadmaps into achievable milestones. His MBA plus deep technical roots mean he balances business priorities with predictable engineering outcomes, and he often shapes team culture and process as intentionally as code.
