Company info

  • Steve Tidwell - Senior Manager, Engineering
  • Steve has been in the tech industry for over two decades, working in global IT operations and management, corporate IT, networking, data center, and cloud-based platforms.
  • Prior to joining Cockroach Labs a little over a year ago, he worked at Crunchyroll, Venturebeat, and Conviva, among others.
  • His experience runs the gamut from building on-prem installations, to migrating those to the cloud, to his current primary focus on large-scale cloud-based distributed systems.
  • During his free time he enjoys writing technical blog posts, reading science fiction, cooking, and gardening.
  • Isaac Wong - EVP, Research & Development
  • Isaac is responsible for the health of the engineering organization at Cockroach Labs.
  • He partners closely with teams to ensure we have a balanced culture that promotes quality and innovation in pursuit of our goals.
  • Before joining Cockroach Labs Isaac was in life sciences for 16 years with Medidata Solutions where he had a front row seat on the exciting ride from a 30 person startup to more than 2000 people worldwide.
  • But the lure of distributed, resilient, and consistent SQL databases, along with the amazing technology and culture at Cockroach Labs proved too much.
  • When not working he likes to draw, play the piano, and search NYC for cannolis with his wife and kids.
  • Cockroach Labs is proud to be an Equal Opportunity Employer building a diverse and inclusive workforce.
  • If you need additional accommodations to feel comfortable during your interview process, please email us at accessibility@cockroachlabs.com.
  • Cockroach Labs has a hybrid work model, with Roachers that are local to one of our offices coming in on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays and working flexibly the rest of the week.
