Alex Salomon is a Director of Engineering based in Montreal with 13 years of experience building high-performing teams and architecting resilient, high-throughput systems. He has led cross-functional engineering organizations through large-scale fulfillment modernizations—executing zero-downtime cutovers of half a million SKUs and improving system reliability to 99.66% while scaling operational capacity by 500%. Technically fluent across TypeScript, AWS serverless patterns, microservices, and CI/CD, Alex has delivered systems handling hundreds of thousands of requests per second and productionized AI capabilities into scalable SaaS deployments. He combines a pragmatic, customer-obsessed product focus with disciplined engineering practices—Domain-Driven and Hexagonal design, ADRs, and observability—to reduce incidents and accelerate delivery. A hands-on mentor and promoter of talent, he has repeatedly doubled team velocity and advanced multiple engineers into senior roles through structured growth plans. Unusually for a director, he retains deep coding and architecture experience from games to retail and GenAI platforms, enabling him to bridge strategy and delivery effectively.
