Josh Hegg is a seasoned software engineering leader with 13 years of experience driving cloud migrations, SaaS transformations, and developer productivity at companies ranging from startup to public enterprises. He combines hands-on architecture and full-stack experience (Java/Python/Node, PostgreSQL, React/TypeScript, Terraform, AWS/Kubernetes) with proven people leadership—coaching teams, hiring and promoting talent, and aligning cross-functional partners in Product, Design, and IT. At Tripwire he led the initial SaaS architecture, security and on-call practices, and at LinkedIn he built efficiency platforms and centralized hardware forecasting that removed bespoke spreadsheets and reduced toil for hundreds of teams. Known for using metrics to shift release cadences from multi-week to multi-day, he excels at pragmatic tradeoffs that accelerate delivery while improving reliability and cost management. Based in Portland, Oregon, Josh brings a systems-minded approach rooted in operations, security, and long-term scalability that often surfaces in behind-the-scenes process and tooling wins.
