Summary
André Coelho is a seasoned lead software engineer with 12 years of experience building high-availability, large-scale web platforms that serve millions of users, currently leading the Video Platform team at Globo.com. He blends deep backend expertise across Ruby, Python, Node.js and Java with strong infrastructure and observability skills (Grafana, NewRelic, Sentry) to design resilient microservices, OAuth2/OpenID Connect systems and serverless/BaaS components. At Globo he has driven platform strategy and product ownership—shipping API gateways, FaaS, and publishing tools that power major portals—while also recruiting and mentoring high-performing teams. His academic background (MSc in Computer Science) complements practical strengths in performance testing, security, and operational troubleshooting (strace, TCP states, iowait). Not obvious from titles: he often bridges product and infra decisions, preferring pragmatic, cross-component solutions that reduce lead time and simplify complex legacy landscapes. He is based in Rio de Janeiro and is not open to remote roles for foreign companies.
