Senior🎓
Top SchoolShawn Richards is a Principal Software Engineer with 14 years of hands-on experience building and leading engineering delivery for SaaS and security-focused products, currently driving architecture and implementation for a hosted life-sciences document management platform. Comfortable as a technical and agile leader but intentionally hands-on rather than a people manager, he blends deep full-stack and systems experience—from embedded C/C++ and Objective-C early in his career to modern web, big data, and CI practices. He has repeatedly served as Scrum Master and tech lead, shipping robust features at companies like Tanium, Amplify, and Netsertive while tackling challenges such as secure monitoring, automated upgrades, and device-server data pipelines. Based in Cary, NC, he pairs pragmatic engineering with an emphasis on reliability and security, and has a track record of building tooling and frameworks to automate testing and deployment.
