Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMatt Chapman is a Head of Engineering with nine years of hands-on software experience and a knack for building high-performance, people-first engineering cultures. He blends technical leadership across backend systems, API design, and AWS-hosted microservices with strong people management—mentoring teams, driving architecture decisions, and aligning engineering output to product strategy. His unconventional background as a commercial pilot, river guide, and search-and-rescue leader gives him calm decision-making under pressure and a practical focus on operational safety and risk mitigation. A founder of MetScope and former lead roles at Harmoney, Xero and First AML, he pairs entrepreneurial grit with delivery discipline across scale-ups and product teams. Outside work he actively pursues mountain biking, climbing and sea kayaking, applying the same appetite for calculated adventure to technical problem solving.
