Jacob Preston is a Backend Engineering Lead at Wealthfront at Wealthfront. He possess expertise in computer science, mathematics, finance, value investing, team leadership and 28 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "Product teams at fast growing startups have to deal with a lot of churn and ambiguity, and Jacob is the master of dealing with both of these things. I worked closely with Jacob on a banking product foundational to Wealthfront’s vision. Thanks to his leadership, I was able to focus less on the intangibles such as stakeholders, feature prioritization, and the scrum process and more on nailing down the technical details on the backend. Jacob managed of all of that while being a superb front end lead on the product and being the primary IC for the Android implementation. Furthermore, his communication skills are excellent, and he is able to move seamlessly between very technical people like myself and fielding questions about the product from the CEO. I would leap at the opportunity to work with Jacob again."
