Konstantin Nikiforov is a Site Reliability Engineer with nine years of focused experience managing large-scale, high-availability infrastructure from bare metal to cloud. He led SRE teams at major Russian tech companies, driving transitions to Infrastructure as Code, implementing CI/CD, and introducing incident management and round-the-clock on-call processes. Notable technical achievements include building VK’s first Kubernetes cluster across hundreds of machines, operating ClickHouse clusters of 300+ nodes with significant cost optimizations, and running KV storage on Tarantool handling millions of requests per second. He combines hands-on systems engineering with people leadership—hiring, coaching and promoting engineering managers while improving team processes and efficiency. Based in Moscow and educated in computing systems and networks, Konstantin is as comfortable tuning load balancers for TLS at 2M RPS as he is shaping long-term operational strategy.
