Ram Goda

For over two decades, I’ve built and led engineering teams across the Bay Area’s startup and enterprise landscape navigating the speed and ambiguity of startups, and the scale and complexity of large tech organizations. My experience spans infrastructure, media processing, firewalls, cloud security, and social media platforms, always with a focus on delivering impact through strong engineering execution, innovation and collaboration.

Most recently, I led Messaging Safety at Meta across Instagram, Messenger, and Threads, building safety features for 2.3B+ users. My teams used large-scale and on-device ML to detect and prevent abuse across messaging surfaces. I also led engineering teams in Payments, Ads, and Marketplace, focused on scaling core platforms. Prior to Meta, I co-founded a cloud security startup that was acquired by CipherCloud.
