Luigi Antonini is an engineering leader with 13+ years of hands-on software experience and over five years managing and scaling teams, currently serving as Engineering Manager at Bitpanda. He has repeatedly turned complex distributed systems into reliable, high-throughput platforms—most notably driving optimizations at Stuart that generated ~€40M in gross margin while slashing feature lead times from months to weeks. Comfortable operating both as a senior engineer and interim Director, he has led up to four teams and kept morale and retention high through restructurings, budget cuts and acquisitions. Fluent in English, Spanish and Italian, he excels in cross-cultural, multinational environments and in aligning engineering delivery with business OKRs. Known for modernizing tooling and automating feedback loops, he blends deep Scala/functional systems experience with pragmatic people management to deliver measurable impact.
