Top SchoolJacob Ross is a Senior Software Engineer based in New York with five years of hands-on experience building full-stack, cloud-native systems for finance, healthcare, and consumer platforms. He blends engineering and product management expertise—having led product launches at Klarna and guided monolith-to-microservices migrations—so he consistently frames technical work in clear business terms and trade-offs. At Chief he drove architecture changes, introduced automation and shared developer tooling, and uncovered mapping-related cost savings exceeding $1M annually. Technically fluent across React/React Native, TypeScript, GraphQL, serverless AWS, Terraform and CI/CD, he also champions testing, TDD, and developer education. Outside work he’s an avid outdoorsman and watercolorist who organizes tabletop RPG groups—a hint at his mix of strategic systems thinking and collaborative play. Jacob’s combination of product savvy, operational rigor, and cross-functional leadership makes him effective at shipping resilient, measurable software.
