Erik Talbot is an engineering manager with a decade of hands-on software experience who thrives at the intersection of leadership and development. He has led distributed teams building high-impact web services—most recently guiding engineering efforts for Octopart and now at Grubhub—while also shipping scalable data and analytics pipelines at Tempus. Comfortable diving into messy legacy systems, he balances heads-down coding with translating technical work to product, sales, and executive stakeholders. Erik is pragmatic about incremental delivery, having moved features from manual MVPs to self-service portals and established rapid prototyping and A/B testing frameworks. His background in finance and consulting informs a disciplined approach to process and cross-functional collaboration, making him a coach who prioritizes continuous learning over status quo.
