Mikhail Panfilov is a seasoned backend engineering leader with 10 years of experience building and scaling high-performance systems across fintech and consumer tech. He has repeatedly led teams from early stages to 25+ engineers, architecting resilient distributed platforms with Golang, Kafka, PostgreSQL, ClickHouse, gRPC and cloud storage for high-traffic, compliant fintech workloads. His optimizations have delivered measurable business impact—reducing latency, cutting costs, and unlocking millions in annual revenue—while shipping features that process hundreds of thousands of orders per hour. Equally comfortable in hands-on coding and technical leadership, he contributes to open-source (e.g., adding operators to the rxRust Reactive Extensions) and champions ADR-driven architectures and robust RBAC for enterprise products. Based in Saint Petersburg, he is targeting Backend Team Lead or Head of Department roles where deep systems thinking meets operational execution.
