Charles Wautier is a product-focused software engineer with 11 years of experience building maintainable, pragmatic systems and shipping end-to-end solutions across startups and enterprise teams. He’s fluent in full-stack development and cloud-native tooling, with hands-on experience in Ruby on Rails, Go, AWS, Kubernetes and observability stacks, and a track record of delivering high-throughput, low-latency services. As Interim CTO at ContentRadar he built an MVP with a teammate, hired and mentored the tech team (including his successor), and helped shape product and business strategy beyond pure engineering. His background spans both product-facing UX work and robust backend architecture—he’s comfortable specifying features from UX mockups through to production-ready implementations. Colleagues describe him as a clear problem-framer who prefers straightforward, maintainable solutions over unnecessary complexity. Based in Berlin, he combines engineering rigor with product intuition shaped by roles at Shopify, PubNative and other fast-moving companies.
