Luis Vieira is an engineering manager based in Berlin with 11 years of experience building and scaling high-throughput, low-latency distributed systems. He has led and mentored multi-country teams up to 17 engineers and previously ran an entire backend department that scaled traffic from hundreds of thousands to over 4 million requests per second while driving 10x revenue growth through tight product collaboration. Luis combines hands-on systems design and operational rigor (Kubernetes, IaC practices) with people-first management—zero turnover for two years and a structured hiring and career development program. He favors remote-first, asynchronous workflows and outcome-focused engineering culture, instituting practices like post-mortems, ADRs, and RFCs to reduce cognitive load and unblock teams. Currently at commercetools, he mentors other EMs across the organization, blending deep technical credibility with proven leadership in hyper-scale environments.
