Summary
Eva Fineberg is a Staff Engineer based in Berlin with 11 years of experience building resilient backend and audio-focused systems, currently shaping Kontakt's core features and technical strategy at Native Instruments. Trained in both computer science and classical piano (Oberlin) and holding an MSc in Sound and Music Computation, she blends deep systems engineering—Go, Java, C++, SRE, Kubernetes—with a musician’s sensitivity for audio playback, streaming, and transcoding architectures honed at SoundCloud. She has a track record of scaling production infrastructure (company-wide K8s and HPA rollouts), mentoring engineers, and shipping instrument- and creator-facing tools. Outside of product work she co-founded music and sustainability collectives and curates a monthly drum-heavy DJ mix series, bringing rare product empathy at the intersection of sound, performance, and systems.
