Summary
Oriel Zaken is a pragmatic engineering leader with over a decade of hands-on experience and more than 15 years in the industry, currently managing 20 engineers across four teams to deliver multiple products at LinearB. He combines full-stack technical depth—from AWS serverless and microservices to React frontends and robust CI/CD—with a talent for identifying individual strengths and building high-performing, versatile teams. Oriel has repeatedly shortened delivery cycles and ramp-up times (improving delivery efficiency by 25% and cutting dev times by 40%) by introducing targeted tooling, automation, and prioritization practices. His background as an early employee and team founder gives him a strong bias for pragmatic infrastructure and scalable architectures that align engineering with business goals. Comfortable across cloud providers (AWS, Azure), data stacks and DevOps, he blends strategic planning with day-to-day coding and mentoring. Colleagues describe him as a hands-on leader who favors measurable improvements and continuous innovation rather than abstract processes.
