Senior🎓
Top SchoolJoakim Recht is a founding engineer and entrepreneur based in Aarhus with 14 years of software engineering experience, currently building AI at Beyond Work after a senior technical trajectory at Uber where he rose to Distinguished Engineer. He brings deep systems and backend expertise—spanning Java, distributed data stores, messaging, CI/CD and large-scale platform design—from early work at Tradeshift to shaping production services at Uber. Joakim pairs hands-on implementation skills and ops experience (server automation, monitoring, tenant isolation) with product-facing engineering leadership and company-building as owner of JRIG Holding and Contix. He has a strong history of shipping complex infrastructure and custom security models, and is comfortable across languages and stacks from Scala and Groovy to JavaScript. Notably, his career blends founding-stage pragmatism (building platforms from day one) with enterprise-grade reliability at scale, making him adept at turning ambiguous AI visions into production-ready systems. He holds an M.Sc. in Computer Science from Aalborg University.
