# Jonathan Demeter > Product-minded Software Engineer | Mission-Driven Location: New York City Metropolitan Area, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/jonathandemeter I'm a product-oriented software engineer motivated by building solutions that improve the lives of the people around me. I'm both a big-picture, strategic thinker and a detail-oriented developer; someone who wants to be deeply involved in the product development process. ## Work Experience ### Software Engineer II @ August Schools Jan 2024 – Present | New York, New York, United States ### Software Engineer & Associate Product Manager @ Goldcast Jan 2021 – Jan 2024 I helped scale an early-stage MarTech startup's product to drive rapid growth. Being both a SWE and PM I had the unique opportunity to have deep ownership in the product development process and learn the nuances of building beloved and valuable products. I led the development of multiple features 0 to 1 both independently (planning and implementing) and while leading a 3-4 person cross-functional team. In my time time at Goldcast we: - Grew from $0 revenue company to an $8M+ ARR company - From 6 to 100+ employees - From 0 to 200+ customers, including highly-reputable enterprises like Github, Toast, Adobe, LG, and many more Day-to-day tasks: - Developing front-end solutions in Vue.js, precisely converting design prototypes into clean UI/UX - Debugging, writing test cases, conducting code reviews to ensure code quality - Developing the backend of Goldcast's email and registration Microservices using Python - Conducting customer interviews and market research to identify user needs and business opportunities - Leading conversations with engineering colleagues to translate product visions into technical solutions - Leading conversations with designers and conducting user tests to create high-fidelity UI/UX prototypes in Figma - Conducting interviews with cross-functional colleagues and customers to identify user problems, accurately prioritize them on the product roadmap, and scope product requirements - Preparing GTM teams for a new feature launch by working with marketers to craft compelling user narrative and educating sales and customer success colleagues on the feature and its value prop - Writing SQL queries to monitor product KPIs (key performance indicators), and using insights to measure feature success and identify areas for improvement - Consulting high-value customers who have requirements outside Goldcast's product offering, and executing custom solutions to ensure their satisfaction ### Software Engineer Intern @ Goldcast Jan 2020 – Jan 2021 I collaborated with a team of 7, including the CEO and CTO, to go from business idea on paper to an MVP with paying customers. I worked all across the tech-stack using tools such as Vue.js, Flask, AWS Lambda, S3, and DynamoDB to build an all-in-one virtual event platform. Achievements: - Built feature that automatically blocked off an event on a person's calendar when they register. This was a highly prized feature which had an 87% adoption rate and became a key differentiator for closing deals over competitors - Designed and built an integration with Hubspot using a Flask Backend that centralized user registration and attendance records on Hubspot. These centralized records were used to create email campaigns at clients' requests to grow sales pipeline. - Led end-to-end development of live polling feature in Goldcast's video broadcast space that increased attendee engagement and collected data on attendees, helping clients turn attendees into leads. ### Software Specialist @ Project Life Jan 2019 – Jan 2020 | Ann Arbor, MI Worked with a team to develop a cost-efficient above-elbow prosthetic arm for a local high school Vice Principal - Created a circuit and software script that allows for precise elbow, hand, and finger movements for the prosthetic. - Designed and implemented a method for the client to control all capable motions of the prosthetic ### Summer Intern @ Digital-Clay Jan 2019 – Jan 2019 | Jerusalem, Israel - Researched LinkedIn integrations using competitive analysis and API documentation to create a spec that syncs user profiles, leads, and messages between Clay and LinkedIn - Created travel itinerary solution using Digital Clay’s information management system used by 15 peers that marks reservations, records expenses, and automatically sends email notifications about upcoming events in a chosen location ### Undergraduate Research Assistant @ Strategic Reasoning Group Jan 2018 – Jan 2019 | Ann Arbor, MI Part of a group researching the efficiency of cryptocurrency markets by measuring triangular arbitrage opportunities. -Gathered multiple days worth of continuous order book data by creating a python script that connects to the Gemini exchange's API and collects, cleans, and saves live order and trade data. This allows us to recreate past instances with millisecond accuracy of the exchange's order book, allowing for close inspection of arbitrage opportunities. ## Education ### Bachelor of Science - BS in Computer Science University of Michigan Jan 2017 – Jan 2021 ## Contact & Social - LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/jonathan-demeter-6aaaa1170 --- Source: https://flows.cv/jonathandemeter JSON Resume: https://flows.cv/jonathandemeter/resume.json Last updated: 2026-04-01
