Ryan Snodgrass is Co-Founder and CTO at SageOx, a Seattle-based startup building shared context infrastructure that keeps humans and AI agents aligned across enterprise teams.

Ryan was one of Amazon's first engineers, spending 15 years at the tech giant where he led the company's landmark transition from monolithic architectures to microservices. He studied at Carnegie Mellon University and brings deep expertise in scalable, highly available, and distributed systems.

Ryan's foundational work at Amazon during its earliest engineering days gives him a rare, first-principles perspective on building resilient infrastructure at massive scale. His technical instincts now shape SageOx's approach to agentic context as the next critical systems layer for AI-native teams.

At SageOx, Ryan co-engineered the Ox hardware puck and open-source Ox CLI, tools designed to capture team decisions and intent and feed that context continuously to AI coding agents. The company emerged from stealth in May 2026 with a $15M seed round led by Canaan Partners.

SageOx's platform demonstrated a feature request moving from verbal discussion to completed implementation in under seven minutes, enabling teams to operate 20x to 40x faster. The company is backed by A.Capital, Pioneer Square Labs, and Founders' Co-op and is positioned as foundational infrastructure for the AI-native era of software development.
