Senior🎓
Top SchoolMax Muth is a Staff Software Engineer in Munich with 12 years of experience building full-stack, cloud-native products using Rails, Python, Go and Vue.js, and a strong focus on SRE, UX, and privacy. He combines hands-on engineering with team building and organizational design—recently leading a restructure to remove his own team-lead role while driving Demodesk’s Agentic AI product and Kubernetes-based infrastructure. Max has deep DevOps chops (custom CRDs/operators, multi-cloud multi-region clusters, proactive autoscaling) and a track record of cost and reliability improvements from Terraform and CI/CD migrations to monitoring and alerting. An entrepreneur at heart, he co-founded Tank Navigator, a mobile app with >300k downloads and real‑time data for 15,000 German fuel stations, and maintains disciplined attention to code quality as seen in contributions to projects like encode/apistar. He pairs product-minded engineering with pragmatic architecture choices, often surfacing and fixing subtle edge cases that improve robustness.
