Summary
Sharon Xie is a Staff Product Manager and seasoned engineering leader with a decade of experience building real-time data platforms and developer-facing systems from founding engineer to product head. Based in San Francisco, she has driven strategy and execution at high-growth startups (Decodable) and enterprise vendors (Splunk, Confluent, MongoDB), blending compiler- and query-planning expertise with product strategy for streaming data and observability. She’s comfortable toggling between hands-on technical work—language support, SDKs, integrations—and high-level roadmap decisions that align engineering and customer needs. At Decodable she progressed from founding engineer to Head of Product, leading the team that defined a managed real-time data platform from inception. Known as a pragmatic technical leader, she champions data and AI while fostering cross-functional collaboration between product, UX, and engineering. Her background in compiler/type-checker work and full-stack development gives her a rare mix of systems-level depth and product intuition.
