Summary
Matthew Yamout is a senior software engineer with 10 years of experience building full-stack systems for finance and consumer products, currently driving engineering at ESPN after progressive technical leadership roles at Rivian and Playback. He has a strong backend and frontend toolkit—Java, Node.js, React, Go, Python, Elasticsearch and MongoDB—and practical experience across the software development lifecycle from initial product builds to scaling search and digital purchasing platforms. Early career stints at Goldman Sachs gave him a grounding in trading systems, and he’s applied that rigor to lead cross-functional teams and expand organization-wide platforms like Rivian’s search and inventory listings. He also explores blockchain technologies, having worked with Solidity and smart contracts, which complements his interest in financial and backend systems. Based in the Bay Area with a Computer Science degree from San Diego State University, he blends pragmatic engineering with an appetite for emerging tech and product-focused infrastructure.
