Todd Rizley is a multilingual senior sales engineer with 11 years of experience blending software engineering, quantitative analysis, and cross-cultural communication to solve complex customer problems. Currently leading solutions engineering at Port IO after progressive leadership roles at Datadog—where he tripled the SE organization, redesigned hiring and onboarding, and established interviewer certification—he excels at scaling teams and operationalizing best practices. He pairs hands-on technical fluency across cloud and container stacks with a linguist’s attention to detail, having translated academic works in Spanish, French, and Italian and taught ESOL programs for refugees. Todd’s background spans product-facing engineering, technical account management, and developer enablement, making him effective at both strategic deployments and white-glove customer engagements. He holds degrees from Tufts and Sciences Po and a web development immersion from Flatiron, an unusual mix that fuels his interest in economics and public policy alongside engineering. Colleagues describe him as a puzzle-driven problem solver who builds durable processes as thoughtfully as he builds demos.
