Marco Santarossa is a Staff Software Engineer with nine years of experience who started as a lead iOS developer for brands like Sky, Net-a-Porter and Curve and deliberately moved to backend systems to work closer to infrastructure and scale. He now leads backend microservices at Indeed, owning Java/GraphQL services, serverless image pipelines and infra choices across Terraform, Kafka and AWS while mentoring senior engineers and running on-call for production services. Comfortable on both sides of the API, he blends product thinking with deep client-side empathy—so backend tradeoffs are informed by real client constraints. He’s also an iOS tech editor and long-time mobile lead who has driven modularisation, CI/CD and testing cultures across teams, which helps him bridge mobile and backend domains effectively. An engineer who measures decisions by their operational and product cost, he thrives on taking ownership of end-to-end systems and reducing third-party risk through pragmatic rebuilds.
