Senior🎓
Top SchoolSean Kelly is a seasoned engineering leader based in Quincy, MA, with a track record of scaling teams and shipping software used by millions across startups and enterprise firms. Currently Head of Engineering at Spade after leadership roles at Klaviyo, Rapid7, PillPack and as CTO at Allma, he blends hands-on architecture (notably Go, AWS Lambda and DynamoDB) with people-first management that prioritizes customer outcomes over lines of code. He has repeatedly grown and reorganized teams, introduced modern microservice practices, and reduced operational toil—cutting on-call noise and enabling higher-impact delivery. A pragmatic problem-solver and mentor, he moves engineers into greater responsibility and has a history of turning legacy systems into scalable platforms and reusable APIs that materially impact revenue. Quietly, he’s been an internal evangelist for Go and modern cloud architectures, often stepping into customer-facing debugging and POC efforts to close the loop between engineering and product.
