Maor Cohen is a seasoned engineering leader and founder with 10 years of experience building high-scale backend systems and startups from Tel Aviv. As Co-founder & CTO at VYBS and previously at a stealth startup, he combines product strategy with hands-on engineering, having shaped Upsolver’s backend teams and led the design of its in-house SQL and CDC offerings for MySQL/Postgres. His background spans embedded systems and applied physics to distributed data platforms, giving him a rare full-stack perspective from bare-metal drivers to cloud-native services. He excels at simplifying complex systems—refactoring legacy government platforms into unified solutions and shipping production-ready data infrastructure. Maor blends research experience in deep learning with practical delivery, having worked on unsupervised segmentation and few-shot learning while also driving customer-facing product adoption. Based in the Tel-Aviv District, he’s equally comfortable coding, defining product strategy, and scaling engineering teams.
