Background

About Steven Fleming

Purpose-driven Director of Engineering with 10+ years of experience in SaaS, startups, and e-commerce, passionate about delivering environmental and business value through optimized reverse logistics. At Optoro, I’ve made contributions across the entire codebase and led distributed, cross-functional teams to build systems that diverted millions of pounds of waste from landfills and significantly reduced carbon emissions—demonstrating how technical excellence can drive real-world impact. I lead with empathy, foster inclusive and collaborative team environments, and keep teams focused, resilient, and aligned with business goals. I believe engineering teams thrive when collaboration is open, egos are small, and communication is clear—values I work to instill daily. With a track record of success in fast-paced, high-growth settings, I’m eager to use my experience and energy to help teams move quickly, responsibly, and with purpose.
