Senior🎓
Top SchoolIain Hull is a senior principal software engineer with 16 years' experience building and scaling large distributed systems, currently driving Workday’s next-generation elastic grid that powers payroll, integrations and core transaction services. Product-minded and customer-focused, he blends hands-on system design (Java, Scala, RabbitMQ, Linux) with cross-functional collaboration to guide architectural and operational decisions. His career spans leading teams and evolving production systems to handle orders-of-magnitude growth, and he intentionally reshapes architectures to match new team structures and product requirements. A frequent conference speaker on topics from cloud-native migration to improving correctness with types, he pairs deep technical craft with a pragmatic sense for product success. An MSc in Advanced Software Engineering and a background in both C++ and JVM ecosystems underpin his ability to bridge legacy platforms and modern cloud-native designs.
