Perth, Western Australia
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolCaspar Krieger is a seasoned software engineer and founder with 13 years of experience building scalable platform services and shipping product-critical systems. He spent a decade at Atlassian progressing from developer to principal engineer and architect, leading cross-team integrations, platform adoption strategies, and large technical migrations that improved reliability and deployment velocity. Caspar combines strategic, long-horizon planning and OKR-setting with hands-on engineering—designing centralized tooling to simplify onboarding across 50+ platform teams while still delivering production code when needed. Now he’s the solo founder of Slow Rush, where he wears every hat as lead designer, developer and artist crafting a chaotic pixel-physics couch co-op platformer. He’s known for creating repeatable processes (hiring pipelines, interviewer training, study groups) that scale culture as well as systems, and for tackling thorny distributed systems problems across Java/Scala, cloud services and event-driven architectures. Based in Perth, he brings both product-minded creativity and deep architectural rigor to indie game development and platform engineering alike.
