Senior🎓
Top SchoolPedro Santos is a Senior Engineering Manager specializing in Platform and Data Engineering with 13+ years of hands-on and leadership experience building multi-geo, multi-cloud infrastructure and developer platforms. Based in Lisbon, he has a track record of consolidating fragmented teams into product-minded Platform organizations, driving migrations, reliability programs and meaningful cloud cost optimizations while maintaining compliance for SOC 2 and ISO 27001. He bootstrapped and turned around data platform capabilities that unlocked measurable business outcomes and secured headcount to scale them into dedicated teams. A manager-of-managers and coach, Pedro focuses on hiring, developing leaders, and creating high-trust engineering cultures that enable autonomy and predictable delivery. He combines deep technical fluency across stacks (from Rails and Clojure to Go and Kubernetes) with vendor and audit-level governance experience—an atypical mix that helps balance speed, cost and risk for enterprise-facing products.
