Maxim Kirilov is a senior/principal-level software engineer with 11+ years of experience building cloud-native, scalable backend systems and leading technical efforts across startups and enterprise teams. As the founding engineer at a mobile gaming company he architected the platforms and analytics that supported 5M+ downloads and shipped cross-platform games end-to-end. At Salesforce he tackled production pain points—shipping an automated Celery monitoring service that eliminated manual restarts and materially reduced operational overhead. His strengths span Python, Java, Kubernetes, GCP/AWS, performance tuning, and MLOps, with repeated responsibility for full-cycle product delivery and standardizing engineering practices. He combines hands-on implementation with mentorship and tooling work (including an AI-assisted translation CLI for game code), making him equally comfortable optimizing runtime behavior or building developer-facing automation. Based in Israel, he blends startup grit with enterprise-grade reliability to deliver measurable business impact.
