Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolMark Mccracken is an engineering manager with nine years of hands-on experience building cloud-native platforms, data pipelines, and developer tooling across media, finance, telecoms and gaming. He combines technical depth in GCP/AWS, Terraform, containers and CI/CD with strong people leadership—having led multiple cross-functional teams, line-managed engineers, and improved developer experience at scale. Mark has driven high-impact migrations and platform designs (Anthos on AWS, NatWest public cloud migration) and builds pragmatic CLI and Backstage tooling to accelerate everyday developer workflows. He prefers high-pressure, close-knit teams and is skilled at aligning technical strategy with business priorities and budgets. Unusually for a manager, he still contributes code and demos (iOS, Golang tooling) and runs a podcast where he handles technical production end-to-end. Based in London, he blends the rigor of a mathematics background with a knack for simplifying complex operational processes.
