Yiwei Zhang is an engineering leader with eight years of professional experience, currently serving as Engineering Manager of Managers at Stripe in New York after progressive leadership roles at Stripe, Meta, AWS and Microsoft. He combines hands-on systems engineering roots—evident from early contributions to Kubernetes networking via Antrea and Go-based Open vSwitch integrations—with people management, scaling teams that deliver secure, production-grade infrastructure. Comfortable operating at the intersection of networked systems and platform reliability, he has led engineering organizations through growth phases in large cloud and consumer tech companies. Yiwei blends academic rigor from an MPhil in Computer Science with pragmatic shipping discipline developed at hyperscalers. Colleagues describe him as steady under pressure—“keeping his head high”—and focused on enabling other managers to multiply impact. He brings a maker’s mindset to leadership, often stepping back into code or tests to unblock critical delivery risks.
