Denis Brækhus is an experienced engineering manager and hands-on technologist with 15 years building and operating cloud-native systems, currently leading engineering at DNB. He blends deep DevOps and infrastructure expertise—Terraform, CloudFormation, AWS, monitoring (Dynatrace, Splunk, Grafana)—with people leadership, having moved between senior individual contributor and management roles across large enterprises and product companies. Denis has driven early DevOps adoption at scale, improved CI/CD and performed architecture and peer-review work for critical banking services, showing an unusual comfort with both compliance-driven processes and pragmatic delivery. His background includes product-facing engineering and cloud operations at Varnish Software and managing cross-functional teams responsible for high-availability services since the early 2000s. Based in Nesoddtangen, Norway, he pairs technical breadth (Python, Docker, Terraform, Jenkins) with recruiter/interviewer experience, regularly shaping hiring and ways of working. Colleagues rely on him for steady technical judgment that balances innovation with operational risk.
