Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJacobus Algera is a backend software engineer with nine years of experience, currently shaping BlaBlaCar’s migration from a PHP monolith to Java/Spring microservices while also contributing to frontend, infrastructure and DevOps. He combines strong engineering fundamentals from dual French engineering degrees (ISAE-ENSMA and ENSMM) with hands-on cloud-native toolchain expertise—Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, Istio, Helm and Datadog—and a pragmatic “you build it, you own it, you run it” mindset. As his team’s Scrum Master and on-call engineer, he blends technical delivery with process facilitation to keep services reliable and iterating quickly. Past roles at Zalando, AWS and Airbus underscore his ability to design production microservices and internal tooling across Java, Kotlin, React and messaging systems like Kafka and RabbitMQ. Colleagues value him for tackling infrastructure ownership and cross-stack problems that sit at the intersection of backend, frontend and operations.
