Senior🎓
Top SchoolIlia Sergunin is a Senior Back End Engineer and Technical Lead with 11 years of experience building high-throughput, resilient services across e‑commerce, adtech, and healthcare domains. He has a track record of owning complex migrations and integrations—most recently decoupling IAM from a monolith at Tabby without downtime—and of launching large-scale resale and CRM platforms at Avito that materially increased partner deals and reduced DB footprint. A pragmatist who improves developer experience, Ilia has driven CI/CD and code-quality tooling improvements that cut review and QA effort company-wide. He pairs deep backend expertise in Go, PHP, PostgreSQL, Redis and messaging systems with hands-on product delivery and process leadership that shrinks technical debt and incident rates. An active open-source contributor, he has contributed backend fixes and exporter enhancements to the widely used Scrapy framework and led localization work for Faveo Helpdesk, reflecting both systems-level skill and attention to user-facing detail. Based in Tbilisi, Georgia, he combines systems thinking with practical engineering that scales teams and products.
