Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolTanya Gray is a Director of Engineering for Web & Mobile based in Auckland with 12 years of experience scaling teams and shipping customer-facing web apps. She has progressed from first web hire to director at Soul Machines, leading rapid greenfield builds like the multi-tenant DDNA Studio and reorganising web teams into high-performing, cross-functional units. Tanya blends hands-on front-end expertise (Angular, TypeScript, WebRTC) with product ownership and developer experience improvements, driving fast delivery without sacrificing code quality or automation. She’s passionate about coaching engineers into leadership—having mentored several ICs into team lead roles—and measures success by team confidence and eNPS as much as product metrics. Her background running workshops and university courses also gives her a knack for translating complex technical concepts into teachable outcomes for diverse audiences. Colleagues describe her as a pragmatic leader who loves improving developer experience as a lever for business impact.
