Summary
Renata Maraj is a Senior Staff Software Engineering Manager in Austin with nine years of experience leading cross-functional, distributed engineering teams to deliver scalable, user-focused products. She blends hands-on full‑stack expertise—Node.js microservices, Google Pub/Sub/BigTable integrations, and front-end architecture for high-traffic sites—with proven people and process leadership, from hiring and onboarding to cutting daily standups from an hour to 15 minutes. At Keller Williams she helped pivot the company toward a tech-first business by rebuilding kw.com and parsing millions of MLS listings, and now drives engineering strategy at PayPal. Comfortable bridging product and engineering, she’s also skilled at designing monitoring/alerting systems and pragmatic UX for non‑technical users, a nod to her background in analytics and human-centered solutions.
