Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolPhilip Scott is a Senior Software Engineer based in the Greater Cambridge Area with four years of focused engineering experience and a longer history in quantitative/analytical roles. He has recent hands-on backend expertise building resilient, database-driven systems in Go and Postgres (including TimescaleDB) for decentralised trading infrastructure at Vega Protocol, plus production experience surfacing that data via GraphQL, REST and gRPC. Now at Eiger, he continues to work on distributed systems where running reliably on commodity hardware and in uncontrolled environments is a first-class concern. Comfortable across Go, Python test suites, and increasingly Rust, Philip pairs pragmatic engineering with a deep appreciation for data integrity and performance. His background combining software development with years in quant analysis gives him a data-centric mindset and a knack for turning complex, protocol-level requirements into robust, operable services.
