Rufus Raghunath is an engineering manager based in Berlin with 10 years of experience building and scaling product-focused software teams across startups and consulting. He blends hands-on technical leadership with people development, having led multi-team technical strategy, delivery, and governance at ThoughtWorks and taken first-tech-lead and staff engineer roles at Beamery before joining Stack Overflow. Comfortable as both an individual contributor and manager, he pairs deep JavaScript and web development knowledge with modern ways of working (Agile, Lean, XP) to balance building the right product with building it well. He has a track record of growing engineering communities—co-founding ThoughtWorks’ Frontend Community—and bringing cross-functional alignment between product, design, and engineering. An early background in psychology and even lab research hints at his methodical, experimental approach to team and product problems.
