Senior Software Engineer at Top Hat
Old Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolLinus Rachlis is a senior software engineer in Toronto with 11+ years building SaaS and client-facing systems, known for simplifying legacy complexity and shipping pragmatic, observable solutions. At Top Hat he led modernization of account management, consolidated observability to reduce time-to-detect, and evangelized API security best practices while aligning engineering, product, and compliance. His background as a consultant and full-stack developer means he moves comfortably between APIs, billing and admin tooling, and UX-driven CMS work, often cutting DB load and manual support overhead. Motivated by low-level understanding and real user impact, he pairs technical curiosity with empathy—an attribute reflected in long-term client relationships and mentor-like contributions on cross-functional projects. Off the clock he’s a longtime web tinkerer (first learned HTML in 1998) living in Toronto with his partner and kindergartener.
