Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolMatthew Jordan is a seasoned software engineering leader with 14 years of experience building and managing large-scale storage and communications systems, currently leading engineering at Google after senior management roles at Amazon S3 and Glacier. He combines deep technical roots—having risen from hands-on Asterisk contributor and Digium CTO to SVP and director roles—with proven ability to drive operational excellence and security in cloud storage. At Amazon he focused on scalable, cost-optimized object storage and archival systems; earlier work includes telecom-grade real-time systems where he contributed backend fixes and Prometheus/StatsD monitoring to the flagship Asterisk project. Known for bridging product, architecture, and observability, he emphasizes measurable metrics and robust memory/DTLS handling in distributed services. Based in Seattle, he holds a BS in Computer Engineering and an MS in Electrical/Computer Engineering, blending academic rigor with pragmatic production experience. A detail that often surprises peers: he still contributes to open-source telephony codebases, bringing low-level protocol expertise to cloud-scale platform design.
