Jorge Atucha

Engineering Manager with over a decade of experience bridging the gap between complex system architecture and high-performing team culture. I specialize in decoupling legacy systems and integrating AI-native workflows to remove "complexity tax" for developers. Whether scaling a startup 5x or leading distributed teams, my focus is on delivering predictable, high-quality software while advocating for the engineers who build it.

· Led multiple teams (10+ engineers) for global companies and products (Amazon/Workday) supporting distributed services with high-availability, latency-sensitive, PII-regulated workflows.

· Supported early-stage startup, owned multiple roles across engineering delivery, architecture, and operational maturity, that led to growing engineering organization 5x, evolving from a startup environment to a global scale-up.

· BS/MS in Computer Engineering

· PMP and Scrum Master

· Active UBC CS Mentor

· Former Teaching Assistant
