Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJoseph Schoblaska is a Staff Software Engineer with 17 years of experience delivering product-driven, scalable systems through high-growth periods including two IPOs and an acquisition. He combines hands-on engineering with leadership experience as a founder, advisor, manager, and individual contributor, recently moving from Gusto to Empirical Security while advising early-stage startup Qumis. Joseph has led engineering teams at security and insurance-focused companies (Kenna, Root, Gusto) and served as VP of Engineering at a consumer startup, showing fluency across infrastructure, product, and go-to-market needs. He brings a strong technical voice to product decisions and a track record of shipping under rapid change, balancing pragmatic execution with long-term architecture.
