Top SchoolIvan Zarea is a seasoned platform engineering leader with 13 years of experience building and scaling high-performing teams and reliable web platforms from The Hague. Currently Director of Platform Engineering at Netlify, he previously grew engineering organizations at YoungCapital—introducing OKRs, career frameworks, and equitable hiring that boosted retention while architecting a service-based transition to speed delivery. Ivan blends hands-on technical grounding (from early Rails and API work to mobile SDKs) with coaching for CTOs and managers to create healthier, more productive engineering cultures. He’s pragmatic about shipping: moved teams from infrequent releases to continuous delivery and integrates data science into product teams to ensure they build the right things. Colleagues know him as a leader who cares about both outcomes and the people who produce them.
