Summary
Rebekah Jones is a Staff Engineer with 12 years of experience building and leading teams to deliver pragmatic, product-focused web platforms. She combines hands-on coding with technical leadership—ranging from architecting supplier cost platforms at Wayfair that automated $500M in annual costs to managing a small engineering team at Minted while maintaining high individual contribution. At Reverb she’s progressed through senior roles into staff-level impact, shipping features that improve conversion and user workflows. Her background bridging research, product, and engineering (including years at Harvard’s Berkman Center) gives her a rare fluency in translating complex policy and data needs into usable software. Based in Lawrence, Kansas, she’s happiest writing code and continually hones her craft, often favoring incremental automation and test-driven improvements that yield outsized operational gains.
