Summary
Oscar Evertsson is a Staff Engineer based in Gothenburg with 11 years of hands-on experience building and leading backend systems for high-growth product and platform teams. He has repeatedly accelerated delivery and reliability—reducing CI/CD times from hours to minutes, consolidating brittle microservices into focused services, and driving cloud migrations using Terraform/Terragrunt and managed services. Comfortable bridging product and engineering, he’s led multi-tenant auth and authorization efforts (OpenFGA, Ory), worked with LLM-backed services and data tooling (Apache Arrow, Polars), and balanced rearchitecture with pragmatic shipping. A former Spotify engineer who scaled subscription systems and later led backend strategy at Gilion and Encube, he pairs deep technical execution with mentoring and cross-functional collaboration. Outside work he’s a runner and dog parent, which he credits for keeping focus and resilience during complex delivery sprints.
