Anton Ivanov is a seasoned engineering leader with 12+ years building high-throughput, distributed systems and ML-backed search and feed products, currently heading Feed and Clips development at VK. He combines deep systems and backend expertise in C++, Python, Java and Scala with hands-on experience in mobile (Objective-C/Swift), databases (SQL/NoSQL) and networking (TCP/IP) to ship robust services at scale. At Yandex he progressed from senior engineer to multiple department head roles — leading open-domain QA, answers service and product database teams — demonstrating a rare blend of research-facing ML work and production-grade engineering. His early career in antivirus server development and Robocup AI highlights a longstanding focus on performance, networking and real-time systems. Colleagues know him for tackling “interesting” hard problems end-to-end: from low-level async I/O and protocol work to large-scale ML-driven ranking and feed orchestration.
