About Jonathan Tabaka

I\'ve spent my career moving between engineering leadership and product management — and I build with both hats on.Right now I lead application engineering teams at Rivian, building the enterprise platforms that support operations at scale. Before that I\'ve been an IC product manager, a manager of product managers, and a development lead. That range means I can define what to build, why it matters, and how to ship it.Outside of work I build with AI-native tools. I prototype with Cursor and LangChain, ship mobile apps in Flutter, and treat new technology as something to build with — not just evaluate. When I see a problem, my instinct is to open an editor, not a slide deck.Industries: automotive, supply chain, construction, financial services.
