Summary
Kaiser Leib is a pragmatic technology leader and CTO with 10 years of hands-on software engineering experience and a track record of building and scaling teams across startups and fintech. He moves fluidly between shipping backend services, data work, and hiring great engineers—preferring to "hire good engineers and get out of the way." Kaiser has founded and led companies (CTO/cofounder and CEO roles at Stage) and served senior engineering roles at SoFi and Juniper Square, giving him deep experience in lending, investor-facing products, and partner engineering. Based in Helena, Montana, he balances product conversations with customers and investors while still occasionally diving into code and database design. Colleagues know him for turning practical constraints into reliable systems and for blending strategic product thinking with day-to-day engineering judgment.
