Podcast: Jessica Kalinowski — Way Too Much: Rethinking the Modern Interview Process

Jessica Kalinowski, Head of Reliability and Security of Beacon Biosignals, joins us to unpack how she took an engineering org from one or two releases a month to 130, all without a single AI adoption mandate. Her path runs through McKesson and connectRN, where she most recently served as Vice President of DevOps and Corporate IT. Jessica also makes the case that most hiring processes have grown bloated rather than accurate, and shares why she leads every team with a psychology degree instead of a computer science one.
