Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAnton Kotik is a pragmatic technology leader with 11 years of experience building and operating high-scale backend systems and cloud services, now heading development and support of DBaaS and Kubernetes at Selectel. He has scaled and led engineering organizations of 70+ people, hired and onboarded dozens of backend engineers, and driven a monolith-to-microservices split while designing 30+ APIs and services. A hands-on "playing coach," Anton still writes code, conducts reviews, and implements automation that reduces toil across teams. He combines deep backend expertise (PHP, JS, PostgreSQL, ClickHouse, Redis, Docker, Kubernetes, AWS) with process design—blending Scrum, custom practices, and practical documentation—to keep releases frequent and reliable. Comfortable translating between developers, product and finance, he’s known for solving complex problems under pressure (pandemic, rapid growth, even wartime disruptions). His background in applied mathematics and early work on high-performance subscriber systems give him a knack for performance-sensitive architectures and pragmatic trade-offs.
