Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPeter Mcconnell is an AVP-level engineering leader based in the UK with two decades of experience designing and operating large-scale distributed systems and cloud security platforms across AWS, GCP, Azure and Oracle. He has repeatedly taken products from zero to production at scale—most recently scaling a cloudscanner to millions of asset scans and trillions of files per week while streamlining onboarding and asset support through code generation. Hands-on across Go, Linux, Kubernetes and eBPF, he blends low-level engineering (runtime profiling, kernel probes, custom compilers) with people leadership, building teams and offices across the UK, Iceland, Israel and the US. He drives SLO-driven cultures, measurable reliability improvements and automation that increases developer velocity, and retains active customer-facing responsibilities including triage and procurement. Notably, he has led both founding-stage engineering efforts that resulted in acquisition and the creation of Flexera’s first global SRE organisation, showing strength across startup and enterprise environments.
