Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolNadav Wiener is a Scala-focused tech lead with 13 years of professional experience and a continuous involvement with Scala since 2007, currently leading engineering at Riskified in Tel Aviv. He blends deep architectural experience—from chief architect and senior consultant roles to leading 40-developer initiatives—with hands-on implementation of high-performance, distributed systems. His background spans finance, telecom, defense, and eCommerce fraud prevention, often addressing performance and scale challenges and shipping production-ready MDA and interop solutions. An experienced conference speaker and trainer, he has a history of evangelizing Scala, Akka, and non-relational technologies while mentoring teams and shaping developer tooling. Early-career work in the IDF and low-level systems (PL/I bindings, DCOM, assembler exposure) gives him uncommon systems-level perspective for a JVM-centric leader. Based in Tel Aviv, he combines pragmatic engineering leadership with a long-standing passion for Scala-driven solutions.
