His response was a curt, "No." If you know anyone impacted by recent layoffs, we have positions open for software engineers, site reliability engineers, and more. #hiring #softwareengineer #sitereliabilityengineer #sre #layoffs #fintech https://lnkd.in/gSxCMkYz https://lnkd.in/g6JtyVKV

Justin Hopper shared thisJustin Hopper shared thisFor anyone impacted by recent tech layoffs (#meta, #twitter, #stripe, #lyft, #affirm, #chime or others) or looking for new opportunities given hiring freezes in many tech companies, please let me know how we can help (in any way). I'd be happy to help partner and provide assistance personally for what I can do. These are very stressful times, and anything we can do to help each other would go a long way.

The timeline you chose fits the narrative but if you zoom out you'll notice you captured the tail end of the Covid bubble during which time communications stocks like Twilio and Zoom went through a momentary boom.
Excluding this outlier, you can see a clear trend line up.
The numbers also do not tell the whole story - you left out the change in leadership and the new strategy Twilio has now set it's eyes on and is backing up with tangible execution and results.
No one can predict the future and outcomes but if talent, guided by insightful and focused leadership, can tip the odds in one's favor - then Twilio has what it needs to write its own story of success.

Doug is known for growing teams and businesses with a real builder mindset. He helped scale Workday to a multibillion dollar business, and his expertise will be invaluable at Twilio as we drive operational excellence at scale and continue to transform our GTM organization. What sealed the deal for me is that Doug is someone who cares as much about how business gets done as the results themselves. Looking forward to working closely with Doug to drive the next chapter of the company. More here: https://lnkd.in/gvR9-Q4N

Justin Hopper reacted on thisJustin Hopper reacted on thisOver the past year, I've been building a side project that I didn't plan to share publicly. It started simple. I wanted to learn mobile app development. My work is entirely backend-focused, so I figured I might as well dive into a more full-stack skill set to sharpen my tools. In parallel, I was struggling with my relationship to social media (still am). Doom scrolling, opening apps to feel something... and leaving empty. A question kept coming back to me: What would a quieter, more intentional space on the internet look like? I closed my eyes and pictured the early days of the internet when MySpace and Facebook felt like you were stepping into a person's room, but you were just looking at their profile. That question, coupled with the goal of learning something new, started my journey building an app in silence called Circle. Building what felt right to me, no one else. Then one day, a group of friends came over. I mentioned Circle in passing, as a concept, not as a fully fleshed idea. To my surprise, their eyes opened. And they opened wide. I realized I wasn't the only one feeling this need. No, not a need for mobile app development experience, but the need for a quiet place on the internet where expression felt like the main thing. Not a feed of posts trying to go viral or taking my latest paycheck. Somehow, someway, I took this conversation with my friends from idea → small beta → App Store launch → iterating with real users. Quietly. Honestly, a month after launching quietly on the app store, the most valuable part hasn't been the launch itself. It's been what the process forced me to learn. A few things that stood out: - Shipping beats overthinking even more than I expected: Features I debated for weeks went unnoticed. Small things I almost skipped ended up mattering most. It's amazing how differently the world receives what you build compared to what you imagined. - You can't design expression too tightly: I tried to guide user behavior heavily through Circle early on. That was a mistake. As an engineer, my ego led me to believe I could "optimize" how people express themselves. Circle got better the moment I stepped back and let people express first. - Feedback loops change how you build: At work, feedback cycles are structured. Sometimes slow and simmering. With Circle, it's immediate; you feel every friction point in real time. It forces a different kind of ownership. A sense of pride in your work that tunes your mind to a different level of attention to detail. Building this has made me a sharper engineer. Not because of the stack or technical skills it required, but because of how it's sharpened my thinking around tradeoffs, user behavior, and what actually matters in a product. All things that have translated into success in my work as an engineer. Still early. Still learning. But seeing people come back daily... writing, reflecting, and sharing music has been genuinely rewarding.

I took this opportunity to speak on how NOCA has formed my foundational skill set and ability to passionately pursue my love for critical thinking, responsible leadership, and moral integrity through their classical curriculum. I am grateful I attended school there and for the opportunity to come back and speak as a distinguished alumna. I was also enriched by Dr. Bauerlien’s and Dr. Strang‘s speeches on the importance of classical education and how those who learn this way have the ability to live a more noble life. I am privileged to receive guidance in this aspect from such distinguished gentlemen.

Justin Hopper liked thisJustin Hopper liked thisServing in federal government for the last three and a half years has been incredibly fulfilling, illuminating, and maybe just the tiniest bit frustrating, but my four year term clock is winding down. Given the current hiring environment inside of government and the greater tech ecosystem, that means it’s time to start planning for what’s next. I’ve spent the last few years in both hands on and advisory roles at federal agencies, but I really miss leading teams and helping people work together to build things. So, if you’d like to catch up or know of a role you think would be a good match for me, please reach out! (Pictured, a moment from an amazing USDS ground discovery trip to the Fort Berthold Reservation in North Dakota that was somehow colder than a whole New Jersey winter.)

Justin Hopper liked thisJustin Hopper liked thisThere’s something I’ve realized I haven’t fully shaken: competition. It doesn’t show up loudly. It shows up as a small tightening when you see someone else win — a contract announced, a stage filled, a milestone reached. And suddenly the thought appears: I should be further. For years I called that ambition. I called it drive. But I’m starting to question whether it’s something else. When you’ve lived inside systems that reward performance, competition starts to feel like oxygen. It energizes you. It sharpens you. It gives you direction. But sharpening and grounding are not the same thing. This clip is part of a longer reflection in my Emergence series about the subtle ways comparison shapes how we lead, build, and see ourselves. The full conversation is on YouTube, and the essay lives on Substack. Links in the comments. #LeadershipDevelopment #Emergence #ExecutiveMindset #Presence #Alignment

Justin Hopper reacted on thisJustin Hopper reacted on thisI'm happy to share that I'm starting a new role as a Staff Software Engineer — Financial Infrastructure at Checkout.com! Payments is one of the most adversarial domains in distributed systems engineering: high volume, real money, extreme availability requirements, and bulletproof data correctness under creative and unforgiving failure modes, backfills, and reconciliation. The numbers have to add up, every time. Challenge accepted!

Justin Hopper reacted on thisJustin Hopper reacted on thisAfter nearly 6 years at Amazon, the time has come for me to post the laptop and badge photograph - with a small twist. I like to periodically put myself outside my comfort zone. So I’m relocating to Seattle—because what better way to do that than embracing gray skies, constant drizzle, and sludge that insists upon calling itself coffee? I joined AWS and was to have been located in Dublin, but COVID came along and put the brakes on that. I have been remote ever since. Somehow, in all that time, I never had a working card key—just guest badges. I'm thrilled to say my first real one is the yellow badge I got when I went into a badging office in Sydney :) I'm very excited to be closer to the Amazon DynamoDB team that I've been a part of, for almost the past six years - and see what this next chapter looks like. Seattle advice (weather survival or actual coffee) welcome. Recommendations for good FBOs, flight schools, or aircraft rental as well. P.S. I'm keeping the laptop and badge. P.P.S. Not going to miss the New England winters.
