Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolNoam Chitayat is a seasoned technical leader turned career and leadership coach based in Seattle with 14 years of experience building reliable, large-scale systems and teams across companies like Indeed, Remitly, Ookla, and Microsoft. He has led platform-scale transformations—from growing a GraphQL API from 100k hits/month to 1 billion hits/day to architecting event-sourced financial systems—and pairs deep technical judgment with a people-first approach to coaching and hiring. Noam focuses on cultivating empathetic "helpers" in software: engineers who treat code as a tool to serve customers, teammates, and communities, and he translates that ethos into inclusive hiring, mentorship, and leadership practices. He’s also practical about quality and observability, having driven measurable improvements in stability, performance, and accounting accuracy across products. As founder of Waysight, he now coaches mid-to-senior technologists at career crossroads, blending hands-on engineering experience with a talent for elevating others. A quirk: he believes LinkedIn should be called "LinkedIn Park," which hints at his lighthearted, human-centered view of tech culture.
