Summary
Thomas Hanley is a seasoned engineering leader with 17 years of experience building developer productivity, DevOps, and platform engineering at startups and scale-ups across the Bay Area. As a co-founder and Head of Technology, he designed a multi-tenant provisioning platform integrating Google Workspace, Okta, Zoom, and MS365, led SCIM/OAuth-based security, and guided AI/ML access-review pipelines on GCP to SOC2 Type 2 certification. He has repeatedly scaled CI/CD and service delivery systems—most recently directing developer productivity and platform teams at WePay, Notable, and Sonatus—while managing remote, international engineering organizations. Known for pragmatic technical design, Thomas blends hands-on implementation (CI/CD, service mesh, monitoring, tooling) with strategic program leadership to move complex identity and infrastructure projects into production. A liberal-arts-trained technologist based in Redwood City, he pairs deep infra expertise with a founder’s aptitude for productizing security and automation.
