Director Of Engineering at Conlio
Berlin, Germany
Summary
👤
SeniorNico Ulbricht is a Director of Engineering based in Berlin with 11 years of experience building and scaling backend and infrastructure teams across fast-moving startups and high-growth platforms. He has led organizations from early MVP engineering to 50-person tribes, crafting architectures and roadmaps that prioritize scalability, reliability, and security. Notable achievements include founding an engineering function and investor-facing platform in renewable energy, running Gorillas’ Checkout tribe through complex integrations and global peak loads, and architecting event-driven microservices and IaC practices. He combines hands-on technical depth in real-time and distributed systems with strong people leadership—hiring, mentoring, and developing engineering leads and on-call practices. A practical systems thinker, he often surfaces non-obvious operational improvements (e.g., synchronized device orchestration and observability tooling) that materially improve product velocity and stability.
