Sarah King is a seasoned software and technology leader with over a decade of experience building scalable, reliable systems and leading high-performing engineering teams across AV, cloud, and payments. She has driven mission-critical engineering at Netflix, Cruise, and Ripple, delivering measurable outcomes like multi-order-of-magnitude reductions in labeling costs, major uptime improvements to 99.995%+, and dramatically faster remote-assistance workflows. A repeat founder and early-stage operator, she launched products under tight timelines (including a 90-day product launch at Ripple) and scaled teams from small startups to dozens of engineers driving cross-functional initiatives. Her recent work focuses on unifying vehicle, cloud, and operator software to support thousands-to-tens-of-thousands of concurrent autonomous vehicles while cutting costs and complexity. Based in San Francisco and trained at Harvey Mudd, she blends entrepreneurial grit with deep systems and cloud expertise, and she writes about engineering leadership for audiences such as Forbes. An often-overlooked strength is her track record of operationalizing simulation and training platforms that turn experimental ML and autonomy work into production-ready services.
