Summary
Samantha Carow is a senior software engineer and startup CTO with 11 years of experience building consumer-facing web platforms and infrastructure. She co-founded and served as CTO of DwellWell, growing the product 20% month-over-month, hiring a 12-person team and raising $4.5M to reinvent the first-time homebuying experience. Prior to that she held progressive engineering and management roles at Reddit where she contributed to the site redesign, led web infrastructure teams, and founded the GAINS program to accelerate junior and mid-level developer growth. Her hands-on background spans front-end architecture (React/TypeScript), back-end systems and integrations, and product-focused experimentation at scale. Now based in Los Angeles and currently at Medallion, she combines founder grit with engineering leadership and a track record of mentoring women entering tech. An unexpected thread through her career is a marketer’s sensibility—she pairs technical depth with user empathy and growth-minded product thinking.
