Top SchoolKlynton Jessup is a Staff Engineering Manager with 13 years of experience building and scaling delivery and DevOps organizations for cloud-native products. He has led orchestration and CI/CD transformations at Dropbox and HelloSign—migrating pipelines, containerizing legacy systems, and driving daily deployment cadences while maintaining strong team retention through major reorganizations. Equally comfortable in hands-on infrastructure work and strategic leadership, he founded Delivery Engineering functions, reduced operational overhead dramatically, and implemented automated compliance frameworks (SOC 2, HIPAA, ISO27001). Based in Utah with an MBA from the University of Utah, he combines technical depth in Linux, Puppet, and Kubernetes with a training background that makes him an effective coach and change agent. A pragmatic problem-solver, he’s known for shrinking test runtimes and operational debt, and for unifying developer workflows across large organizations.
