Summary
Alfonso Jimenez is a Lead Software Engineer with 15 years building resilient, data-driven systems across startups and large enterprises from Barcelona. He blends technical co-founder grit with senior engineering leadership, having led distributed teams and core platforms at Gartner and now G2 while owning high-throughput services like PPC bidding, billing, and campaign engines. Deeply polyglot—Ruby, Elixir, C/C++, JavaScript and Scala—he pairs systems-level expertise (AWS, Kubernetes, clustering) with analytics-forward storage choices (PostgreSQL, ClickHouse, ElasticSearch). Past roles include product- and platform-focused leadership at XING, Rakuten TV and Jobandtalent, and a successful exit from his own logistics startup, demonstrating both product intuition and operational delivery. He is a pragmatic mentor who runs engineering orgs end-to-end, from hiring and career development to hands-on architecture and performance tuning. An active proponent of free software, he brings uncommon breadth across backend, data and infra that helps teams turn complex requirements into dependable production systems.
