Senior🎓
Top SchoolFirat Sivrikaya is a product-oriented Staff Software Engineer based in Berlin with 11 years of experience designing and operating scalable backend systems across gaming, construction tech, and HR platforms. He has owned and shipped dozens of business-critical microservices built in Go, Java/Kotlin and Spring Boot, driving reliability through SLOs and real-time metrics while reducing latency on high-traffic endpoints. A pragmatic architect and cross-functional leader, he has led company-wide initiatives, mentored engineers, improved onboarding, and introduced GenAI and agentic workflows into the dev lifecycle to boost productivity and assess operational risk. He pairs hands-on engineering—building custom Gradle plugins, IaC, and deployment tooling—with stakeholder-facing product work to translate requirements into resilient systems. Notably, he balances deep JVM enthusiasm with modern cloud-native practices (Kubernetes, AWS) and a history of migrating monoliths to event-driven microservices.
