Summary
Guy Kolbis is a hands-on engineering leader and founding technologist with nine years of experience building high-availability, agentic AI systems and large-scale distributed platforms from Tel-Aviv. As Head of Engineering and founding member at multiple VC-backed startups, he designs and ships production-grade agent architectures (RAG, LangChain/LangGraph, tool-using agents) and orchestration pipelines while still coding in Python, Go and Node.js. Previously as CTO he scaled engineering and product orgs to 100+ people, operationalizing microservices, event-sourcing, CQRS and real-time processing across Kafka, Redis and Elasticsearch. He blends deep systems design with product intuition—turning complex AI research ideas into pragmatic, deployable services—and mentors teams in DDD-driven architectures. Equally comfortable in cloud-native infrastructure (Kubernetes, DigitalOcean, AWS) and edge firmware stacks, he keeps a developer’s curiosity at the center of leadership. Based in Israel, he pairs entrepreneurial grit with a passion for crafting elegant software that makes sophisticated AI practical.
