Co-founder, CEO

Elena Novak

Ran release engineering at a payments company for six years and started Rheostat after one too many Friday rollbacks.

Elena spent six years running release engineering for a European payments company, where she learned that most outages are not bugs but bad timing. Rheostat started as a spreadsheet of rollout rules she kept on her desk.

How Elena works

Mornings are for deep work, afternoons for people. Every decision gets written down before it gets made, and every write-up gets a reply within a day.

Outside work

Usually somewhere without a signal: on a trail, on a bike or in the kitchen. Ask about the sourdough.
