Summary
Alexis Josephides is a Head of Engineering based in Copenhagen with nine years of experience bridging product strategy and hands-on engineering across industries from media to energy. A former Group Product Manager turned engineering leader, he combines deep technical expertise in distributed systems (Kafka, MSK, Flink, Kubernetes) with commercial and customer-centric instincts to deliver scalable data platforms and operational resilience. At Deliveroo he led organisation-wide Kafka migrations, MSK cluster care and geo-sharding initiatives, and now drives engineering and data efforts at Circle Gas to enable pay-as-you-go clean cooking fuel in sub-Saharan Africa. Alexis pairs a PhD-level analytical background in physics with practical software engineering training from Makers, making him especially adept at translating complex problems into robust, production-ready solutions. He’s known for mentoring teams, upskilling peers on streaming architectures, and thriving at the intersection of product, data and infrastructure.
