Summary
Matt Lehman is a Senior Software Engineer in San Jose with 16 years of experience building high-impact, revenue-driving systems at companies from Google to Netflix. He helped shape the public-facing Google Ads API—touching more production code there than any peer—and now contributes to Netflix’s Core Data Platform. His background spans low-latency trading infrastructure and algorithmic strategies, prototype robotics (an Android app to fly a drone), and large-scale ad tech operations, giving him a rare blend of systems, data, and product sensibilities. Comfortable as both an individual contributor and technical lead, he has repeatedly owned end-to-end delivery, hiring, and compliance responsibilities. Trained in mathematics at MIT, he brings a quantitative mindset to designing reliable, performant platforms. Not actively seeking opportunities, he focuses on durable, production-grade systems that scale under real business constraints.
