Alain Bangoula is an engineering manager based in Dubai with 14+ years of hands-on experience building and scaling backend systems and cross-functional teams. Currently leading engineering at Stake, he previously directed multiple 10–12 person squads at Property Finder, driving a migration from monolithic PHP to microservices in Go and spearheading a modern authentication platform including Keycloak and API Gateway patterns. He blends strong delivery discipline—Agile transformation, CI/CD and DevOps—with a developer-first mindset rooted in his earlier senior backend and core developer roles. Alain is equally comfortable negotiating vendor strategy with leadership and mentoring engineers through hiring and personal development plans. He has practical depth across Linux, Docker, Symfony/PHP, Node.js, Redis, MongoDB and messaging systems, and a track record of architecting scalable B2B platforms and CRM products for high-growth marketplaces. An atypical strength is his long arc from solo freelance REST work to managing multi-squad platform evolution, giving him both tactical coding instincts and strategic product empathy.
