Summary
Ilya Roslyakov is an engineering executive with 25+ years in software and over a decade of leadership, currently serving as Director of Engineering at Wargaming in Vilnius. He specializes in scaling resilient platforms and organizations—creating site-reliability and game-integration functions, implementing system complexity metrics, and authoring five-year tech and org roadmaps. Previously he tripled retention and drove platform availability from 99.7% to 99.9998% by instituting career frameworks, OKRs, and SRE practices across hundreds of engineers. Ilya has a strong track record building distributed, high-throughput systems and new regional engineering hubs, from real-time game backends to smart-city APIs, and often combines hands-on architecture with managerial coaching. He pairs pragmatic cloud-native architecture (Kubernetes, AWS, Erlang/Python) with a knack for turning operational pain points into measurable improvement programs.
