Bristol, England, United Kingdom
Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolMatt Seymour is an experienced engineering manager and SRE with 12 years building and scaling Python/Django applications and infrastructure from startups to enterprise risk firms. Based in Bristol, he blends hands-on backend craftsmanship—SQL, Celery, Redis, Elasticsearch—with leadership roles directing teams, hiring, and shaping devops practices. At Envelop Risk he moved from senior engineer to leading SRE efforts for AI-enabled cyber reinsurance models, applying performance-focused thinking to complex, data-driven systems. He contributes to open-source tooling that improves developer experience (notably improving dj-database-url’s maintainability and testability), showing attention to long-term project health. Comfortable across the stack and in production environments, he’s as likely to optimize a query or CI pipeline as mentor junior engineers. Outside work he channels endurance-event grit and curiosity into side projects, a habit that keeps his skills sharp and ideas pragmatic.
