RC Johnson is a seasoned engineering leader with over 15 years of experience building high-impact teams and products across startups and large enterprises, currently serving as Senior Director of Engineering at Bumble and founder/CTO of SimpleAndDone. He has repeatedly scaled small R&D groups into revenue-generating powerhouses—driving hundreds of millions in new revenue and launching incubated products that became core business lines at Indeed. RC blends hands-on product and technical leadership (from platform and mobile to AI experimentation) with operational rigor, having led cloud migrations, internal VC-style incubators, and the rapid launch of mission-critical systems like Indeed’s Virtual Interviews. He’s skilled at recruiting top talent, creating career growth pathways, and instituting new ways of working that balance speed, quality, and user-centered learning. Notably, he built an internal incubator that tested 60+ ideas and spun 15 products into the business, and he enjoys applying engineering for social good—helping job seekers, employers, and diverse user communities. Based in Austin, RC combines startup agility with enterprise-scale delivery and a knack for turning early experiments into lasting platform value.
