Niharika Ray is a seasoned software engineer and GTM product leader based in San Francisco with a decade of experience building scalable infrastructure and product operations across consumer and nonprofit sectors. She has deep production systems and payments experience from multiple roles at Airbnb—spanning data, production infrastructure, and payments availability—paired with hands-on program scaling and platform work at Minds Matter Bay Area where she launched a Salesforce-based platform and expanded operations to a new city. Currently driving go-to-market product at Clay, she blends technical fluency with operational rigor to translate engineering complexity into reliable, user-facing systems. A Carnegie Mellon computer science graduate, she’s comfortable both optimizing low-latency backend services and organizing volunteers and data practices to support long-term program sustainability. Notably, she pairs performance-focused engineering wins (e.g., shaving latency in API gateways and improving memcached scaling) with an uncommon dedication to building durable organizational infrastructure.
