Staff Engineer at Yubico
Malta
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJean Galea is a Staff Engineer with over a decade of hands-on experience building resilient infrastructure and firmware at Yubico, after progressing through multiple senior engineering roles there. He specializes in delivering production-ready systems and high-availability architectures, with earlier work introducing LVS-DR, MySQL Galera, SolrCloud, RabbitMQ clusters and cost-saving media storage redesigns at Fyndiq. Comfortable shifting between software, firmware and ops, he has a track record of learning new stacks on the job (moving to Stockholm to take on a Python/Django role) and turning that knowledge into scalable operations and deployment systems. Based in Malta, Jean combines deep operational discipline with pragmatic engineering: he owns projects end-to-end, from low-level I/O and database tuning to deployment automation and disaster recovery. An understated but consistent thread in his career is mentoring and enabling developers through code reviews, ORM guidance and operational tooling to improve reliability and performance.
