Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolGermán Sancho is an engineering manager with 12 years of experience building and scaling cloud-native systems, currently leading teams at Datadog from Madrid. He combines deep backend architecture expertise (Java/JVM, Go, Node.js) with mobile and live video streaming experience, having led Jellysmack’s mobile product roadmap and a 14-engineer team. Germán has repeatedly re-architected messaging and ingestion systems for reliability at scale — from Kafka migrations to removing data loss in RabbitMQ-based platforms. A founder-turned-leader, he blends hands-on implementation (microservices, real-time systems, WebRTC) with strategic responsibilities including hiring, architecture committees and cross-team governance. His background includes PhD-level research in ubiquitous computing and semantic web, which informs a systems-thinking approach to complex distributed problems. Colleagues note his rare mix of product-minded technical leadership and the ability to dive into low-level implementation when projects demand it.
