Summary
Ray Johnson is a seasoned technology executive with 11+ years in leadership and over two decades of hands-on engineering experience, currently serving as VP of Engineering at Moov where he scales fintech infrastructure and remote teams. He has a strong track record transforming and productizing payment and e-commerce platforms—from founding CTO of Tilia (spun out of Linden Lab and funded with $22M) to leading engineering at Linden Lab, AT&T Interactive, and YP Holdings. Ray combines deep domain expertise in e-commerce and SMB advertising with a practical focus on developer experience, Go, microservices, and operational efficiency to drive measurable business outcomes. He repeatedly takes on teams in transition, building high-performing organizations and modernizing stacks to reduce costs and speed delivery. Unusually, his career blends startup founding instincts with enterprise-scale program leadership—running large Salesforce rollouts, acquisitions, and platform spinoffs—so he moves comfortably between boots-on-the-ground technical work and board-level strategic decisions. Based in California, he pairs an MS in Computer Science with a history of shipping both core platform innovations and customer-facing products that support virtual and traditional currencies.
