Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolOlivier Garcia is a product-focused engineering leader with 15 years of experience building and scaling customer-facing SaaS platforms across roles at Botify, Algolia, Etsy and Critizr. As Product Engineering Director at Botify he leads 37 engineers and multiple managers, driving roadmaps that balance innovation, operational efficiency and debt reduction while cutting customer-reported issues by 50% and improving median load times by 22%. He excels at organizational design—splitting monoliths into smaller teams, creating IC career tracks, and standardizing postmortems, incident management and observability to lift delivery quality. A hands-on full-stack engineer who still sponsors top-tier customers and occasionally steps in as interim manager, he blends technical credibility with people development and cross-functional collaboration. He’s comfortable with compliance and security initiatives (ISO 27001, penetration testing), cloud migrations and running hackathons to surface innovation. Based in Lille, Olivier is known for pragmatic process change and a quirky personal goal: trying to unhook from chocolate.
