Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolOndrej Burkert is a Principal Engineer with 10+ years of experience building resilient, cloud-native backend systems and guiding cross-functional teams at scale. Based in Berlin and currently at N26, he focuses on architecture, incident resiliency, deployment pipelines and removing roadblocks so multiple teams can ship quickly and reliably. He pairs deep algorithmic instincts and hands-on debugging with pragmatic leadership—writing RFCs, reviewing PRs, and occasionally rolling up his sleeves to fix live issues. His tenure includes migrating services and data stores with minimal downtime, dramatically speeding E2E test suites, and improving on-call and remote-work practices across the company. Motivated by purposeful work, he seeks roles that offer meaningful mission alignment (or commensurate compensation) and a hybrid-remote setup that supports productivity and family life. A former “Mr. Algorithm,” he combines theoretical CS training with a track record of practical, high-impact engineering improvements.
