Senior🎓
Top SchoolRod Begbie is a product-focused engineering leader with over two decades of experience building teams and shipping impactful consumer and infrastructure products from startup to scale. Currently Director of Engineering for Infrastructure and Engineering Velocity at Splice, he combines SRE, data engineering and productivity tooling to remove friction and use AI and automation to help engineers ship faster. He’s led multidisciplinary orgs at Dropbox, Discord and Volley, driving technical strategy, release cadence, and cultural shifts that turn teams into reliable partners. A coach and mentor who founded and scaled engineering organizations (including as CTO/co-founder of Sosh), he pairs hands-on technical judgment with people-first leadership and measurable outcomes. His writing and public speaking have been featured by O’Reilly and LeadDev, and he has an uncanny anecdote-driven humility—he once bummed a cigarette from David Bowie. Based in San Francisco, he blends product instincts, operational rigor, and a talent for unblocking engineers to unlock potential at scale.
