Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolGustaf Brostedt is a backend engineer based in Stockholm with nine years of experience building scalable, automation-first systems for large distributed environments. He has driven impactful projects at Bloomberg, including a Python-based message-driven framework for system metrics that cut alarm latency by 75% and full-metrics processing time by 90%, and an automated maintenance workflow for ~400 machines that reduced manual interventions by 60%. Comfortable across Python, C++, Airflow and orchestration tooling, he has redesigned access layers to Ceph, integrated RabbitMQ for fleet-wide command dispatch, and standardized deployment and utility libraries to improve operational consistency. Now at Saporo, he continues to focus on resilient backend systems and observability while iterating fast—building, breaking and rebuilding to learn and improve. His background in finance and early operations roles gives him a pragmatic appreciation for reliability, automation and the downstream impact of engineering decisions. Colleagues would describe him as a curious problem-solver who prefers measurable improvements and end-to-end ownership.
