Alexander Häger is a Senior Software Engineer with 11 years' experience building highly available backend and data systems, currently shaping data-driven org design tools at Outcome after five impactful years scaling Spotify’s search platform. He specializes in information retrieval and semantic search, operating and optimizing indexing pipelines and a fleet of Elasticsearch clusters that power user-facing search across platforms. Comfortable in small, autonomous teams, he combines hands-on engineering with a founder’s mindset—co-founding a cohousing matchmaking site and running a freelance dev firm earlier in his career. His background includes applied research on contextual recommender systems from his Master’s work, and a practical streak evident from roles ranging from embedded diagnostics to web and Android proofs-of-concept. Based in Nyköping, Sweden, he brings deep production experience in search infrastructure and a knack for turning research insights into reliable, scalable systems.
