About Marcus

Marcus grew Brightforge's engineering team from four people to 400 while the product went from a side project to a platform used by a third of the Fortune 500.

He speaks candidly about the messy middle of scaling teams: hiring, architecture rewrites and learning to delete code.

The best engineering cultures are the ones where deleting code gets the loudest applause.
