Joseph Livengood is a results-driven software engineer and technical leader with nine years of experience building scalable, cost-efficient systems across logistics, payments, and fulfillment domains. He has led architecture and engineering efforts at Happy Returns/PayPal/UPS, delivering event-driven platforms, centralized data access layers in Go/gRPC, and AI-driven computer vision for in-person verification that helped migrate terabytes of data and cut cloud costs by millions. At Scalable and earlier startups he combined systems and data engineering—creating data lakes, ETL pipelines, and high-availability warehouse services—to dramatically improve throughput and reduce infrastructure expenses. Comfortable shipping end-to-end—from SAML SSO and multi-tenant billing automation to automated IaC and async reporting—he pairs hands-on implementation with measurable operational impact. Now based in San Francisco and currently at Anthropic, he blends startup grit with enterprise-scale execution and a knack for turning legacy complexity into simplified, observable platforms.
