👤
SeniorNiklas Nyholm is a hands-on engineering leader and CTO with 13 years of experience scaling product-led organisations from early-stage startups to multi-team scale-ups. He co-founded Finder to build a more efficient way for recruiters to source talent, and previously led engineering at Smallpdf and Beekeeper, growing organisations to 60+ and 30+ engineers respectively. Niklas blends strategic leadership with day-to-day product development, owning end-to-end delivery while mentoring cross-functional teams. He has strong experience modernising legacy systems, shipping public APIs, and improving frontend performance in customer-facing products.
