Senior🎓
Top SchoolGaurav Roy is a Senior Principal Engineer based in Berlin with 11 years of experience designing and operating distributed, event-driven systems and guiding teams toward operational excellence. Since 2019 he has focused on tech leadership as an individual/expert contributor, shaping high-level architecture, scaling platforms, and mentoring engineers across Zalando’s marketplace and other high-traffic products. He is polyglot in practice—working with Scala, Go, Ruby and Python—but favors typesafe languages and functional approaches when building resilient services. Deeply interested in SRE, Kubernetes, databases and web semantics, he blends hands-on coding with customer-facing product sensibility to ensure solutions solve real user needs. Outside work he stays creatively engaged by reading, writing and cooking five nights a week, a habit that reflects his disciplined, iterative approach to craft and learning.
