Senior🎓
Top SchoolCoby Benveniste is a VP of Engineering and seasoned backend architect based in Tel Aviv with roughly a decade of professional experience and 12 years of hands-on engineering and architecture practice. He specializes in building production-grade, high-throughput systems in Go and Elixir, with deep experience designing low-latency platforms (1M+ RPS and <10ms goals), serverless pipelines, and Kubernetes-driven infrastructure. As an early-stage engineering leader and founding hire at startups like theGist.ai and Arpeely, he has repeatedly taken products from ideation to scalable deployments while owning DevOps, CI/CD, and observability. He currently splits leadership between a stealth CTO role and his VP of Engineering position at MarkeTeam.ai, mentoring engineers and shaping technical direction. Notably, his background includes “special forces” backend work at OpenWeb, collaborating on high-impact moderation systems and pushing backend infrastructure forward on tight timelines. He brings a blend of pragmatic architecture, extreme-scale performance focus, and a mentor-first leadership style that aims to make teams stronger than the leader.
