Summary
Eric Figueiredo is a Senior Software Engineer from Rio de Janeiro with 11 years of experience building high-performance web services and distributed systems. He primarily writes Go but is polyglot across C# (.NET Core), JS/TS, Python and Java, treating languages as tools chosen for the problem. Eric has driven efficiency and scalability at scale—designing a pricing service that cut latency to ~900µs, reduced EC2 usage by 80%, and sustained millions of requests per minute with 99.99% availability. He’s experienced across AWS services (EC2, ECS, Lambda, RDS, DynamoDB, ElastiCache) and introduced serverless and HA database research early in his career. At Bird he integrated messaging channels and marketing platforms; he now contributes at Braze, continuing to blend product-facing feature work with infrastructure and SDK design. Outside of work he’s an avid Botafogo fan and gamer, bringing the same competitive curiosity to engineering and experimentation.
