Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolTim Linquist is a seasoned Software Engineering Architect with 15 years of experience building and operating large-scale, secure cloud platforms and developer productivity tooling, currently shaping engineering standards and long-range plans for thousands of Salesforce engineers. He blends hands-on implementation in Go, Node, Ruby and AWS IaC with leadership—mentoring dozens of engineers, owning architecture decision records, and delivering POCs that inform major investments. Tim has a track record of reducing manual work and time-to-market (e.g., automating AWS account provisioning for Heroku and Private Spaces) and driving continuous deployment, security-first design, and compliance at enterprise scale. Comfortable in startups and large organizations, he spans DevOps, functional and OOP paradigms, and developer-facing product design. A pragmatic problem-solver, he often embeds himself in teams to both manage initiatives and contribute critical code, tooling, and operational runbooks. Based in Portland, he pairs a strong infrastructure/security mindset with a taste for efficiency gains that are easy to overlook until they save weeks of engineering time.
