Senior🎓
Top SchoolJoseph Bergen is a systems architect and product-driven engineering leader with 15 years of experience building consumer-facing apps and platform infrastructure, currently serving as Co-Founder & CTO of Conflixis in New York. He led app strategy and major architectural overhauls at BuzzFeed—reimagining feed UX, push notification systems, and shipping high-engagement products like Quiz Party and Quiz Matchups that unlocked new revenue and user engagement. Comfortable moving between hands-on engineering and executive strategy, he has a track record of founding cross-functional infra groups, mentoring senior engineers, and turning rapid prototypes into durable teams and products. His background spans design, architecture, and engineering—rooted in architecture and engineering degrees from Harvard and Stanford—which informs a rare blend of product sensibility and systems thinking. Notably, he has repeatedly delivered shipping-first solutions (e.g., a one-click Trivia Bank and long-lived internal Push Tool) that solved editorial pain points and scaled across platforms.
