Mark Cerqueira is a seasoned engineering leader with 13 years of experience building and scaling client and API platforms for consumer tech products, currently directing engineering for Roblox’s economy. He has led organizations up to 150 people across North America, driving large modernization efforts—Swift migrations, React upgrades, API unification, GenAI-driven standards, and cloud optimizations—that boosted developer velocity and reliability for hundreds of internal teams and millions of users. Previously at Pinterest and Twitch he combined hands-on mobile engineering roots with strategic platform thinking to deliver measurable improvements in resilience, observability, and CI/CD. He’s known for building high-performing teams through recruiting, mentorship, and apprenticeship programs, and for stepping in as incident commander to drive cross-functional post-mortems and systemic fixes. Based in San Francisco, he blends product-facing empathy with platform rigor and an uncommon background that includes early-career roles from mobile app development to even working as an animal keeper, reflecting curiosity and practical problem-solving.
