Top SchoolMaya Spivak is a Staff Software Engineer based in Seattle with seven years of professional experience and a decade-plus trajectory of engineering roles at major tech firms. She has progressed through software engineering roles at Microsoft and Qualcomm into a long tenure at Google, where she now drives technical work at the staff level after multiple promotions. Her background spans low-level systems and firmware (storage drivers, modem DSP, Linux kernel optimizations) as well as higher-level product work including Cortana speech infrastructure and cross-team refactors. Maya combines deep systems expertise with product-minded collaboration, having partnered with external customers and cross-company teams to deliver robust, extensible solutions. She mentors early-career engineers and has a strong academic foundation with both BSE and MSE degrees in Computer Engineering/Computer Science from the University of Michigan. An understated strength is her track record of performance-sensitive optimization—reducing kernel routines and improving device support—which informs her approach to scalable, reliable systems design.
