Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMohamed Motaweh is a Staff Backend Engineer based in Amsterdam with 11 years of experience building and leading teams to deliver scalable, production-grade services across startups and high-traffic platforms. He blends hands-on backend development (Ruby, Python, MySQL, Redis, Kafka) with technical leadership—having led cross-functional teams, owned roadmaps, run migrations with zero downtime, and introduced protections against credential-stuffing at scale. Comfortable across microservices, integrations and performance testing, Mohamed also mentors engineers, runs tech talks, authors RFCs, and routinely bridges product and engineering by owning features from requirement gathering to production. He thrives on uncovering corner cases and stress-testing systems, a pattern evident from shipping chatbots, matchmaking algorithms and high-traffic plugins earlier in his career.
