Summary

Senior🎓
Top SchoolAsher Cohen is a Senior Software Engineer with 11 years of experience building scalable web applications and developer tooling from Oakland, CA. He brings deep expertise in Ruby, Ruby on Rails, JavaScript, and full-stack architecture, having led migrations, CI optimizations, and test coverage initiatives across startups and mid-stage companies. At Volley he designed the core game engine architecture and introduced end-to-end testing org-wide; at Klaviyo and 10x Genomics he ran near-zero-downtime DB migrations and built GraphQL/CLI tooling that saved hundreds of developer hours. He’s a hands-on technical lead and mentor who routinely reduces CI times, fixes long-standing production issues (including an elusive custom renderer memory leak), and raises engineering standards through testing and process improvements. Comfortable owning both product-facing UI work and backend systems, he favors pragmatic automation that scales teams as well as systems. Outside of code, he started an engineering book club and often pairs with junior engineers to accelerate their growth.
