Summary
Roman Bobin is a senior engineering manager based in Berlin with 11 years of experience building and leading teams across high-growth e-commerce and platform companies. He moved from hands-on roles as a polyglot engineer (Java, Scala, Haskell, PureScript, PostgreSQL, Kafka, Kubernetes, AWS) into leadership at Zalando—scaling from individual contributor to acting Head of Engineering—and now leads engineering at Delivery Hero. Roman combines a strong interest in organizational design and public APIs with functional programming sensibilities, bringing rigorous technical standards to team structure and API-first systems. He has repeatedly led end-to-end delivery for services at scale, managing departments of up to 20 people while retaining an engineer’s attention to architecture and tooling. Colleagues appreciate that he’s equally comfortable discussing low-level language choices and the people processes that make teams productive.
