Edward Q. Earley

Engineering Executive — Seattle & Chicago

Engineering executive with 25+ years building and transforming high-performance organizations — from 0→1 platform builds at startups to FAANG-scale infrastructure at Meta and AWS.

My best work sits at the intersection of leadership, transformation, and architecture: hybrid roles that demand both strategic vision and the ability to get into the trenches. Track record of delivering tens of millions in cost savings, scaling teams from single digits to 100+, and driving cultural transformation through AI-native engineering, platform modernization, and disciplined execution.

I favor lightweight process, open source technology, and Conway’s Law as an organizational design principle.

Currently

Production Engineering Manager at Meta, leading multiple PE teams responsible for data and storage infrastructure powering Meta Ads. Previously Engineering Manager at AWS across EKS, Managed Grafana, S3, and Fulfillment Technology.
