Rachel Jacobson is a Senior Software Engineer with nine years of experience building user-focused interfaces for search, data, and e-commerce applications, currently working with StencilJS and Sass at Lucidworks. She combines front-end engineering chops in TypeScript, web components, Redux and testing with hands-on product ownership—refactoring legacy AngularJS into modern component architectures and introducing test coverage where none existed. Rachel’s background in linguistics and speech data annotation (including work on transcription and text normalization at Google) gives her a unique sensitivity to language, UX, and data quality in complex systems. Comfortable collaborating across design, data science, and support, she’s delivered customer-facing hotfixes and go-to-market features for VIP clients. Outside of work she’s known for lightening Slack channels with GIFs and emojis and for a penchant for watching delightfully bad movies.
