Summary
Stephen Bunch is a full-stack software engineer with 11 years of experience building scalable web and robotics systems, currently working at Google and based in San Francisco. He has deep front-end expertise (React, Angular, TypeScript) paired with backend and systems experience (Python, Java/Kotlin, gRPC, PostgreSQL, AWS) gained across YC startups and large-scale products. Notable achievements include leading the front-end architecture for Google’s next‑gen CRM and delivering a cross-team analytics product, and building Sunrise Studio and on-site robotics services for Charge Robotics that used sparse Merkle trees and contraction hierarchies for efficient sync and routing. He favors pragmatic engineering practices—unit testing, unidirectional data flow, and GraphQL adoption—and has repeatedly driven major stack migrations and performance improvements. Focused now on climate impact work like electrification and reforestation, he seeks roles that translate engineering rigor into measurable emissions reductions. Remote or San Francisco–based opportunities are preferred.
