Filip Aleksić is a Senior Software Engineer with a decade of experience building and improving backend systems across startups and scale-ups from Zadar, Croatia. He excels at turning messy, hard-to-maintain architectures into pragmatic, maintainable services—recently leading a migration from a complex Node.js job system to a Go/Asynq-based background processing platform at Userlane. His background spans security-focused tooling and large-scale data collection (ReversingLabs), mobile game injection for recording (PlaytestCloud), and HubSpot integrations that streamlined onboarding (Mailtastic/Cognism), giving him a rare mix of operational, integration, and platform engineering skills. Comfortable across Python, Ruby on Rails, Node.js, PHP and Go, he pairs hands-on coding with thoughtful architectural decisions and developer-first tooling. An open-source contributor, he added Google Safe Browsing integration to the popular SpiderFoot OSINT project, reflecting an interest in security and threat intelligence beyond his day job. Filip focuses on solutions that are easy for teams to own long-term, preferring deep problem understanding over flashy tech choices.
