London, England, United Kingdom
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPaul Seddon is a senior software engineer and engineering leader with 11+ years of experience building cloud-native platforms and developer experience in finance, media and health tech. He combines hands-on delivery—from Scala and Java backend systems to Kubernetes, Terraform and AWS EKS—with strategic responsibilities such as cost optimisation, tooling procurement and platform direction. Paul has repeatedly led migrations and platform builds that cut cloud costs (notably a 70% AWS spend reduction) and introduced developer portals, software catalogs and observability to improve engineering velocity. His background spans trading and fintech through to royalties and large-scale consumer platforms, giving him a strong appreciation for both low-latency systems and production governance. Based in London, he prefers to stay very hands-on even in director roles, seeding developer experience teams and running architecture guilds to raise software quality across organisations.
