Alexandra Smirnova is a software engineer with 12 years of experience building high-load, distributed back-end systems and test automation frameworks. She has driven impactful work at scale—automating copyright remediation workflows at Twitter that saved hundreds of agent-hours per week and streaming 20 million financial documents per day at Deutsche Bank. Comfortable across Scala, Java, Python and cloud-native platforms, she repeatedly reduces operational complexity by decoupling legacy services and reengineering end-to-end testing pipelines. Alexandra combines pragmatic engineering with cost-conscious decision making, having led a migration that saved $2M in licensing fees. She also brings a security and quality mindset from earlier roles in test automation and behavioral-biometrics tooling. Based in Moscow, she excels at delivering reliable production systems while navigating technical and non-technical constraints.
