Senior🎓
Top SchoolPhilip Bell is a senior backend software engineer based in London with 11 years’ experience building Python/Django/DRF services, containerised pipelines and event-driven systems. He has driven integrations and middleware work, led DevOps and infrastructure initiatives (including Heroku-to-AWS migrations with Terraform), and implemented SLO/SLA and CI/CD improvements. Comfortable architecting scalable Postgres-backed systems and Celery-powered workflows, he pairs pragmatic engineering with a strong focus on developer ergonomics and operational excellence. Philip’s work is informed by a long-standing commitment to software freedom, and his academic projects show a curiosity for data-driven problems—he once built a Twitter sentiment analysis system using Mongo and ensemble ML techniques. Now at Kraken, he continues to blend hands-on backend development with platform-level thinking to ship reliable, integrable APIs.
