Summary
Anton Karounis is a seasoned engineering leader with 11+ years delivering complex, customer-facing systems and rebuilding platforms from the ground up. As Director of Engineering he has led multi-team transformations—migrating legacy .NET/Azure stacks to modern AWS + Go + React/TypeScript architectures while stabilizing production systems and embedding AI tooling to accelerate delivery. He combines hands-on polyglot engineering (Go, Python, Ruby, TypeScript) with strong program-level discipline in estimation, risk mitigation, and scrum-driven delivery across integrations with major partners. Anton’s pragmatic focus on automation and self-serve tooling has repeatedly reduced headcount and operational friction while improving MTTR/MTTD and reliability. Based in Madrid, he’s known for hiring for humility and technical depth and for turning strategic product opportunities into funded engineering initiatives.
