About Phil Gold

20••••25 Update: I’ve joined Datadog as a Senior Software Engineer and am enjoying a return to a more hands-on IC role.RECRUITERS: I am NOT open to making a change right now. —As a Principal Software Engineer at Bread Financial, I leveraged my expertise in web applications to design, review, and implement software architecture for a SaaS platform and experience applications. I also supported developer tooling, education, and the software development lifecycle while building consensus and trust across squads and teams.With over eight years of engineering leadership experience, I have led large-scale, consumer-facing projects and managed teams of up to 25 engineers of diverse backgrounds and skill levels across time zones. I have successfully delivered solutions for web applications, payment services, e-commerce platforms, and content management systems. I am a consensus-builder and pragmatic problem-solver, passionate about building systems at scale and mentoring the next generation of engineers.
