Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolRoman Shein is a Lead Software Developer based in Tel Aviv with 12 years of experience building robust backend systems and test automation for fintech and legaltech products. He progressed from hands-on development roles to technical leadership, currently shaping engineering delivery at an NDA-bound startup since 2021. Roman has a strong foundation in computational and applied mathematics and practical expertise improving developer tooling, evidenced by contributions to the widely used JetBrains intellij-scala plugin where he focused on ScalaTest/Specs2 integration, test runners, and type-inference bug fixes. He combines pragmatic engineering with a tester’s discipline, routinely enhancing CI/test workflows and SBT-based testing support. Colleagues rely on him to translate complex requirements into maintainable code and reliable test suites while mentoring teams through architectural trade-offs. Quietly curious, he often bridges gaps between IDE tooling, build systems and backend services to reduce developer friction.
