Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolHugo Lepetit is an expert (staff) backend engineer with 11 years of experience building reliable, user-focused web platforms, currently shaping backend architecture at BuyCo after senior roles at Getaround and leading Etalab’s API hub. A generalist by trade, he blends deep Ruby on Rails expertise with DevOps, UX, product ownership and mentoring, and has grown teams and systems that handle millions of requests per month. He co-founded a startup and bootstrapped early fintech MVPs, so he pairs hands-on engineering with pragmatic product instincts and a strong testing culture. Based in Rennes, France, he prefers remote-first teamwork with regular in-person collaboration and values communication, empathy and thoughtful evolution of products. Unusually for a staff engineer, he also built a wooden house in 2022—a sign of practical problem-solving and long-term care for craftsmanship.
