Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolOleksiy Golovko is an infrastructure-focused engineering leader with 15 years of experience building and operating reliable platform systems, now leading the Infrastructure team at Ahrefs from Prague. He progressed from senior software engineer to team lead at Ahrefs after nearly 13 years as Director of Platform Engineering at Prometheus Research, demonstrating deep operational and architecture experience across production systems. A hands-on backend contributor in open source (notably adding dependency-solving and run-script features to the esy package manager for OCaml/Reason), he brings practical knowledge of package/dependency tooling and build-system internals. Oleksiy combines people leadership with low-level problem solving—often diving into dependency encodings and solver debugging—to unblock teams and stabilize delivery. Educated in computer science at Donetsk National Technical University, he pairs formal training with a long track record of shipping durable infrastructure. Based in Czechia, he blends cross-border engineering leadership with continued active technical contribution.
