Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAdam Slater is a Senior Software Engineer with 11 years of experience specialising in back-end systems, high availability and security, currently driving core feature delivery at Atom Bank. He has a strong track record of architecting and shipping mission-critical, scalable services in Go on Linux—most recently leading funds transfer, account closure and flagship savings products. Previously at bet365 he owned always-on core systems, mentored teams, and served as an escalation point for operational incidents and regulatory-driven changes. Adam is comfortable setting technical direction from concept to production, writing clear documentation, and translating between technical and non-technical stakeholders. He combines a mathematician’s analytical rigor with a practical focus on performance and security, and he’s repeatedly recognised for delivering high-impact product outcomes. Outside of obvious engineering work, he enjoys exploring how tooling and process improvements reduce human risk in complex service operations.
