Summary
Marcin Piątek is a Senior Backend Engineer with 11 years of experience building high-throughput, data-driven systems primarily in Scala and Java. He has a strong track record designing and delivering microservice architectures, S3-compatible APIs, and Kafka-centric platforms, with notable contributions at Lenses.io and Celonis. Passionate about maintainable code, automated testing, and observability, he leverages tools like Datadog, Testcontainers, Locust and Kubernetes to keep complex systems reliable and performant. Comfortable working 100% remotely since early in his career, he combines pragmatic simplicity in design with deep operational knowledge gained from shipping production-grade streaming and ETL solutions. Unusually, he pairs backend expertise with hands-on performance testing and cloud storage integrations across AWS and Azure, making him effective across both architecture and runbook-level concerns.
