Summary
Stephen Yang is a product leader with a decade of experience building and scaling consumer and enterprise platforms across Meta, LinkedIn, DocuSign, DoorDash and startups. He currently heads Instagram Media Creation product work at Meta and has previously owned core job-integration and applicant management platforms at LinkedIn that power large-scale ATS ingestion and recruiter workflows. Stephen combines zero-to-one launches (Business Messaging Integrity at Meta) with growth and monetization plays (DocuSign integrations and free-to-paid conversion), demonstrating fluency across trust, creator workflows, and platform partnerships. He has a strong technical foundation from Waterloo and early software engineering internships at Databricks and Tesla, which informs his product instincts and ability to lead cross-functional engineering teams. Notably, he has repeatedly delivered both platform-level standards and consumer-facing features—meaning much of what millions of users and enterprises interact with traces back to his product decisions. Based in San Francisco, he blends technical rigor with operational experience in launching complex integrations and integrity-first systems.
