Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlejandro Cabana is a seasoned engineering leader with 11 years’ experience building and scaling data integration and runtime teams across Europe and APJ, currently serving as Senior Software Development Manager at IBM in Barcelona. He has grown multiple engineering organizations from small local teams into globally distributed units, hiring and mentoring managers and engineers to support mission-critical products like StreamSets Data Collector and Transformers for Spark and Snowflake. Alejandro combines deep technical ownership—having led connectivity, escalation, and on-call processes—with strategic product partnership to ensure long-term product viability and profitable evolution. He navigated two major acquisitions while preserving team culture and continuity, and is known for reshaping operational processes (escalation and multi-layer on-call) to scale across 50+ engineers. Not obvious from titles: he has repeatedly acted as the hands-on bridge between presales/PoCs and engineering, preventing technical bottlenecks that could stall enterprise deals.
