Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMike Brittain is a veteran technology leader with 16 years of engineering and executive experience, most recently serving as CTO at VEG ER for Pets after leading Transfix as CTO. He has a proven track record scaling engineering organizations—from hands-on platform and mobile leadership at Etsy where he helped grow the org from 20 to 300+ engineers and supported GMS growth dramatically, to building infrastructure and DevOps teams that enabled high availability at scale. Mike blends product-aligned technical strategy with people-first management, recruiting diverse talent and establishing continuous delivery, CI/CD, and experimentation practices across mobile and backend teams. He’s comfortable operating at both the code and C-suite levels, having started as a web developer and progressively led architecture, platform, and mobile efforts. Based in Rye, NY, he pairs a technical background (MA in Digital Media, BA in Chemistry) with a long history of shipping large-scale systems and leading distributed engineering expansions. A less obvious strength is his early hands-on experience building cloud-based hosting and photo storage systems, which informs his pragmatic approach to platform resilience and cost-effective architecture.
