Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJulien Lafont is a Senior Staff Engineer with 14 years of experience designing high-performance, real-time cloud platforms and leading teams from startup to scale-up. Former CTO of Hawk, he architected and scaled a programmatic real-time bidding DSP, growing the tech org and owning strategy, security and data-driven roadmaps for an AdTech leader. Equally comfortable in the codebase and the C-suite, he blends hands-on backend engineering (Scala, Kafka, Spark, AWS/GCP) with hiring, OKR-driven delivery and technical audits (RGPD, cybersecurity). An open-source-minded builder, he has contributed backend improvements to tooling like Mocky, adding logging and monitoring for more maintainable integrations. Based in Montpellier, he’s now pursuing CTO or Principal Engineer roles where technology is core to the business and values like curiosity, transparency and benevolence matter.
