Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMatt Brunt is a software engineer with 11 years’ experience building resilient, user-focused systems across fintech, trust & safety, and event platforms. He has led engineering teams and owned critical backend services at companies like Bumble and Monzo, with measurable impacts including a 34% reduction in incidents and a 60%+ cut in infrastructure costs from a stalled migration he restarted. Matt combines hands-on engineering (from testing and mutation coverage to serverless scaling for burst traffic) with cross-functional coordination—often acting as the bridge between product, operations, legal and localisation. He built the software behind large-scale Capture The Flag competitions and training platforms used internationally, valuing the human reactions his work enables as much as technical excellence. Described as a “technical octopus,” he thrives on restoring structure to messy legacy systems and shipping pragmatic, well-documented solutions. Outside work he’s known for telling technical stories in a wizard hat—an unusual but effective way he connects creativity to engineering.
