Summary
Tore Hanssen is a founding engineer and engineering leader with 13 years of experience building developer-facing platforms and scalable services, most recently growing Statsig’s Developer Platform and navigating its acquisition by OpenAI. He has deep full‑stack SDK and API expertise across many languages (JavaScript, Python, Go, Ruby, Erlang, Java/Android and more) and has led teams from 2 to 8 engineers while supporting 300+ enterprise customers. At Facebook he shipped core products like Marketplace Messaging and conversion/payment integrations, and at Statsig he owned large swaths of SDKs and developer documentation. Now based in Seattle, he’s combining startup founding experience at ArchAstro with a technical role inside OpenAI after the acquisition. Colleagues would describe him as a developer-first leader who prefers simple, deterministic designs—his playful preference for single-threaded execution and esoteric languages hints at a fondness for elegant, pragmatic solutions.
