Júlio Batista is an engineering manager and generalist software engineer with a decade of experience building and operating distributed systems across billing, fraud prevention, and cloud platforms. He combines hands-on backend skills (Python, Go, Kafka, Kubernetes, Terraform) with people leadership—structuring teams, hiring senior engineers, and partnering with product and staff engineers to create north-star technical plans. At Shippo he led efforts that materially reduced payment fees and fraud losses and delivered a metered billing platform capable of millions of daily events. Earlier roles include optimizing Terrastruct’s D2 layout engine (improving memory and speed 2x) and contributing end-to-end testing and diagram fixes to the popular terrastruct/d2 repo. He also brings research and teaching experience from his master’s work and as a university instructor, which informs his preference for collaborative whiteboard-driven problem solving. Based in Santa Catarina, Brazil, Júlio favors roles where technical trade-offs are debated openly and learning is continuous.
