Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAleksandr Malafeev is a Director of Engineering and seasoned technology leader with nine years of focused experience and a broader 20+ year engineering career spanning Microsoft, Facebook, and high-growth fintechs. He builds and scales teams and products across payments, high-load systems, financial services, and ML, recently leading Payments Products and AI/ML initiatives that scaled to millions in annual transaction turnover. Aleksandr combines hands-on technical pedigree—driving cloud-first architecture and platform transformations at Microsoft and identity-verified ML systems at Facebook—with a strong track record of founding and growing product-led companies (founder of Ninjamock with 150k+ users). He excels at aligning engineering strategy with business outcomes, talent development, and delivering complex projects on time and on budget. An Executive MBA from London Business School augments his technical leadership with strategic and investor-facing experience, including board advisory and angel investing. Less obvious: he pairs deep systems-level engineering (earned patents and large-scale architectural rewrites) with founder instincts that help translate early product signals into scalable revenue.
