Summary
👤
SeniorRauan Kurmet is a senior software engineer and Python evangelist with over a decade of experience building high-load, fault-tolerant systems and shipping product-focused engineering improvements across Kazakhstan’s largest web properties. He has led backend teams and technical initiatives that cut time-to-market by 5x, introduced API-first and SDLC practices, and scaled observability across microservices with Prometheus, Grafana, Jaeger, Graylog and Sentry. At Kolesa.kz he designed recommendation and moderation microservices and productionized MLOps pipelines with Airflow and BigQuery, demonstrating a strong bridge between ML and backend engineering. Rauan excels at developer experience, mentoring, and operational optimization—he’s known for turning nebulous product needs into measurable delivery improvements and dashboards for leadership. Currently at SoftTeco after recent technical leadership roles at Mycar Group and Nazarbayev University, he prefers impactful, product-driven domains and explicitly avoids fintech. A practical systems thinker, he often combines Lean/TOC principles with hands-on optimizations to squeeze large performance gains from existing stacks.
