Summary
Riley Davidson is an engineering manager with 11 years of experience building and scaling backend and full-stack systems across startups and growth-stage companies in Toronto. Currently leading Instacart’s invoicing platform to process billions annually, he combines hands-on technical experience (React, PHP, AWS, CI/CD) with people-first leadership that has grown and mentored dozens of engineers. At Faire he drove 100+ growth initiatives that helped deliver consistent GMV increases and shortened hiring cycles, and earlier roles show a pattern of automating processes to boost deployment velocity and operational efficiency. Comfortable operating across product, recruiting, and cross-functional teams, Riley has a knack for turning messy operational problems into measurable improvements—often by introducing pragmatic tooling and TDD practices.
