Summary
José De Castro Neves is a seasoned technology and delivery leader with over 20 years of experience building cloud-native platforms, scaling engineering teams from small squads to 70+ across Brazil and the UK, and shipping enterprise SaaS products. He combines executive strategy with hands-on skills—architecting regulated fintech systems, leading ISO 27001 efforts, debugging CI/CD pipelines, and mentoring engineers through their first production releases. As a founder who bootstrapped a company to R$8M+ and launched products showcased at Web Summit, Collision and TNW, he brings entrepreneurial grit and product instincts to platform and delivery problems. He has driven large cloud migrations and AI-driven optimizations that cut costs and improved reliability, and today applies GenAI/LLMs to automate operations and accelerate delivery workflows. A former lead teacher with a 95% placement rate, he genuinely enjoys growing talent and building cross-functional teams that align engineering with business outcomes. Relocating to Austin and authorized to work in the U.S., he’s looking for roles where he can contribute both strategically and technically in cloud, fintech, or AI-enabled platforms.
