Summary
Pascal Rapicault is an engineering manager with 14 years in software and over 4 years in management, currently leading the team behind Shift Technology’s fraud detection platform from Strasbourg. He combines deep technical roots—10+ years as a software engineer and long-standing open-source stewardship at Eclipse—with product and people leadership honed at Shopify, where he scaled moderation systems to process millions of merchants and billions of products. Pascal has a rare blend of hands-on architecture experience (OSGi, provisioning, CI/CD, cloud-native systems) and product instincts from roles as product manager and founder of a consulting outfit serving clients like the Canadian Space Agency and Ericsson. He’s practiced at turning complex, large-scale batch workloads into real-time systems, reducing merchant support load and improving trust, while also building onboarding, hiring, and career development processes. A PhD-level thinker who taught university courses and created developer tooling, he brings rigor to engineering processes without losing sight of delivery and team growth.
