Lawrence Jones

Having spent years working as a Principal SRE building an internal PaaS and helping GoCardless scale their services, Lawrence joined incident.io as employee #1 to build the incident response product he’d wished for over the hundreds of incidents he’d been involved in.

Lawrence spent his early career at GoCardless as both SRE and product engineer, helping the company grow from start-up to unicorn. Having spent years working as a Principal SRE building an internal PaaS and helping GoCardless scale their services, Lawrence joined incident.io as employee #1 to build the incident response product he’d wished for over the hundreds of incidents he’d been involved in. Now his focus is on establishing the foundations for a world-class engineering team, and recently building the incident.io Status Pages and Catalog products.

Starting from nothing

In this talk, Lawrence shares lessons learned from experiences bootstrapping teams. He'll draw from experience at GoCardless as a Principal Engineer when leading efforts to build a new Open-Banking payment scheme, and more recently as the engineer who helped go from zero-to-release of the incident.io Status Pages and Catalog products.
