Andrey Lebedev is a hands-on senior software engineering manager with 20+ years building backend and distributed systems, currently leading the media-metadata service that powers Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN with sub-8ms p99, five-nines reliability, and 160K RPS. He blends code-level contribution across Scala, Python, AWS, Kafka, and ScyllaDB with managerial ownership of SLOs and the error budget. Andrey favors pragmatic strangler-fig migrations, small internal tools that teams actually use, and growing Staff-scope engineers from within. His background spans streaming media, capital markets, and distributed platforms, with prior leadership at Capital One and State Street where he built greenfield systems and global pricing platforms. Known for learning the business domain before debating architecture, he treats production work as the primary measure of technical decisions. Based in the New York City area, he brings a proven track record of high-stakes launches and durable operational practices.
