Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolRoman Kononov is an experienced engineering manager with 15+ years leading cross-functional teams and 19 years in IT, currently shaping developer productivity and monetization systems at Stripe from Toronto. He has a proven track record driving revenue and operational impact—at DoorDash his platform work unlocked over $60M and drove 70% advertiser adoption for new targeting products. Roman combines hands-on technical delivery (remote dev environments, billing platforms, compliance migrations) with people-first leadership, scaling teams with low attrition and introducing career ladders and incident-management practices. He has repeatedly converted compliance and migration constraints into business enablers, from restoring market licenses at Uber to platformizing billing and targeting at DoorDash. Comfortable across startup and enterprise contexts, he pairs a master’s in computer science with executive education from Harvard Business School to bridge strategy, engineering, and operational rigor. Not obvious from titles: he co-founded a security audit consultancy that performed 50+ audits for major financial institutions, reflecting deep roots in security and risk-aware engineering.
