Summary
Ron Hashimshony is a senior software engineer based in London with over 19 years of technology leadership and 11 years of hands-on engineering experience, currently driving backend development at Skyscanner. He has led and scaled engineering teams (up to 20+) and served as Director of Backend at MyHeritage, where he remained ~20% hands-on while owning roadmaps, hiring, and execution in CI/CD environments. His background spans distributed systems, Big Data pipelines, A/B testing and SEO infrastructure, plus embedded and real-time systems from earlier defense and simulation work. Known for translating complex requirements into robust architectures, he combines executive-level decision making with deep C++ and system-level expertise and a history of end-to-end product delivery. An unexpected thread through his career is sustained hands-on prototyping alongside leadership—designing ETL tools, custom data pipelines and even a 3D training application—demonstrating curiosity across domains.
