Challenging Difficult Things at Stealth Startup
San Francisco, California, United States
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolWilliam Main is a principal-level full-stack engineer with 11 years of experience specializing in frontend architecture and infrastructure, currently tackling hard problems at a stealth startup in San Francisco. He has driven large-scale frontend transformations at Roblox and Netflix—leading migrations from federated module architectures to unified monorepos and designing federated E2E health testing and plugin-driven dashboard platforms. At Airbnb he shipped Payments libraries that measurably boosted bookings and cut integration time from months to weeks, and he’s repeatedly standardized tooling and build practices to reduce cognitive overhead across organizations. A former MFA fiction student with a BA in English, William brings unusual product empathy and communication chops to technical leadership, and he’s equally likely to respond if you mention a great song you’re into.
