Jono Spiro is a Head of Engineering and hands-on generalist with 21 years of experience building secure, auditable systems and leading engineering teams from startups to scale-ups in San Francisco. He advises founders and execs on product, AI, security, and people practices, having scaled a venture studio portfolio of over 140 companies and built market-leading public-sector budgeting products. Deep systems thinking informs his work—from designing a Git-like, immutable transaction database for PCI-compliant payments to shipping performance-optimized client and server platforms at companies like OpenGov and Scribd. He’s equally comfortable as a founding engineer, technical lead, or production-focused manager, with a talent for simplifying complex infrastructure and eliminating technical debt. Known for relentless curiosity and a tendency to “delete code” in favor of clearer designs, he blends entrepreneurial instincts with rigorous engineering discipline. Based on a Brown CS background and broad language/tool fluency, he consistently turns messy problems into secure, scalable solutions.
