Alejandro Frías is a Senior Software Engineer based in Madrid with 10 years of experience building user-focused web and mobile applications using JavaScript, TypeScript, React, Node.js and Elixir. He has shipped product-facing features at scale for mobility platforms like Cabify and its spinoff Bive—where he helped launch a commuter app and drove early user acquisition—before joining Datadog in 2024. Alejandro blends front-end craftsmanship (including design system and shared libraries) with back-end work in Elixir/Golang, and has a background in architecture and UX that helps him bridge product, design and engineering. He’s comfortable founding efforts within larger companies, improving developer experience, and turning commuter insights into practical features, and he still enjoys building with “legos” — a hint at his hands-on, modular approach to code and systems.
