Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolChris Bath is a Senior Principal Engineer based in London with eight years of professional experience building resilient, cloud-native backend and infrastructure platforms. He blends hands-on development with strategic leadership, having designed and shipped SOC2-compliant runtimes, secure self-hosted Spring Boot deployments, and developer tooling in Go that expanded product TAM and accelerated prototype-to-production decisions. Chris has driven migrations, observability transformations, and architecture practices (C4, ADRs, FMEA) to deliver 99.99%+ reliability while halving incident rates and slashing MTTR. He has repeatedly led small cross-functional teams to outsized outcomes—transitioning outsourced teams to onshore squads for an 80% productivity gain and enabling daily deployments across fintech and edtech systems. Comfortable across Java, Node, AWS, ECS, Docker, Terraform and event-driven architectures, he pairs pragmatic POC-driven experimentation (GraalVM feasibility, extensibility POCs) with rigorous risk management. Beyond engineering, he mentors teams on domain-driven design and operational ownership, turning complex requirements into auditable, revenue-generating systems.
