Summary
Chris Arensdorf is a Director of Engineering and former Amazon Bar Raiser with 15+ years building large-scale systems and a 9-year track record in software roles spanning AWS, Amazon Robotics, and enterprise modernization. He specializes in turning hiring into a data-driven, repeatable system—designing structured interviews, calibrated rubrics, and custom interview-data apps that integrate with common ATS platforms. As an engineering leader he now drives API-first platform development, cloud transformation, and analytics for complex promotions and fulfillment systems while also advising SMBs through his consulting practice. His background in computer and electrical engineering (Boston University, WPI) underpins a pragmatic approach to scalable architecture and operational systems. Not obvious from titles: he led 500+ interviews at Amazon, using captured data and loops to make hiring decisions evidence-based rather than intuitive. Based in Boston, he balances technical leadership with hands-on product work and a penchant for building webapps for friends and side projects.
