Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolLucas Souza is an engineering manager with 17 years of experience leading teams to build scalable, high-availability systems across startups and large tech companies. He combines deep hands-on knowledge in Java, Ruby on Rails and JavaScript with a track record of shipping distributed data and auditing platforms at companies like Personio, Shopify, Intercom and now Stripe. As a former CTO who grew an engineering org from the early days at GetNinjas, he pairs technical architecture skills (microservices, AWS, Redis, DynamoDB) with people-first leadership and XP/agile advocacy. He has repeatedly driven operational improvements—streamlining on-call, migration efforts, and audit logging strategies—while coaching managers and mentoring engineers. Comfortable across backend, desktop and web stacks, he also brings a history of pragmatic innovation (fan-out SMS scaling, contributions to Ruby tooling) that surfaces in production-grade solutions. Based in Dublin, he blends startup grit with enterprise delivery discipline to turn complex requirements into auditable, maintainable systems.
