Top SchoolKevin Cantwell is a Senior Engineering Manager based in New York with 15 years of experience building and leading data platform and backend teams across startups and mid-size companies. Currently at Etsy, he has a strong IC background in backend architecture, AWS infrastructure, microservices, and large-scale streaming data, having led NS1’s Data Product Team to productize ETLs and pipelines. He blends hands-on technical depth with people leadership—coaching engineers, shipping reliable data products, and aligning platform work to customer outcomes.
