Senior🎓
Top SchoolJimmi Kristensen is a Senior Staff Engineer with 11 years of experience specializing in distributed systems, microservices and cloud-native architectures. He has led video platform and recommendation engineering at TV 2 PLAY—supporting over a million active customers—and driven migrations to Kubernetes, GraphQL, and AWS-native services to improve resilience and scalability. Comfortable both as an engineering manager and as an architect, he coaches teams on TDD, SRE practices and anti-patterns in distributed software while championing DevOps and CI/CD. His background spans fintech and payments, giving him a pragmatic security- and reliability-first mindset when designing systems. Now at Pleo, he continues to blend hands-on coding (Java, Groovy) with organizational change to deliver simple, robust solutions at scale. An understated strength is his track record of turning legacy monoliths into containerized microservices while upskilling teams to operate them reliably in production.
