Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolReyk Flöter is an executive engineering leader based in Zurich with 25+ years in software engineering and information security and over two decades of hands-on experience building resilient backend systems. Currently Director of Engineering for Core Backend at Kraken and an active freelance senior consultant, he blends operational leadership with deep technical craft—particularly in security-focused, high-throughput environments. A former founder and CEO, Reyk brings entrepreneurial judgement to platform decisions and a pragmatic bias for shipping auditable, maintainable systems. An OpenBSD hacker and coffee nerd who still "hacks for fun," he pairs low-level systems curiosity with strategic oversight, making him equally comfortable reviewing kernel-level security tradeoffs or shaping product-facing engineering roadmaps.
