Summary
Arseniy Popov is a Senior Software Engineer with 11 years' experience building user-focused products across GameDev, FinTech, and DeFi, currently driving frontend architecture and feature delivery at Yandex. He combines design sensibilities with engineering rigor to simplify complex systems, having led BNPL features used by millions and doubled product ROA while contributing to company-wide frontend standards. Past roles include optimizing CI/CD and reducing bugs at Chainstack, and launching high-reuse internal libraries and micro-products that multiplied client bases at an NDA studio. Comfortable owning full delivery cycles—from requirements and A/B experimentation to observability and incident response—he excels at cross-team collaboration in distributed agile environments. A former game designer who still thinks in narratives, he often translates intricate business logic into intuitive user journeys.
