Rui Ribeiro is a Staff Software Engineer based in Berlin with 8 years of experience building data-intensive systems and leading engineering growth at SPARETECH. As an early founding engineer, he has driven the design and scaling of core data infrastructure—owning aggregation pipelines, full-text search, and a proprietary mass identification/matching engine. He blends hands-on implementation with organizational impact, shaping hiring, introducing engineering management layers, and leading cross-team initiatives for product-critical features. Rui’s background spans microservice and IoT platforms, and he is comfortable across Node.js, Kafka, Elasticsearch, ArangoDB and cloud-native tooling, which informs pragmatic choices for reliability at scale. Beyond engineering, his theatre experience hints at strong collaboration and communication skills useful for cross-functional leadership. He pairs deep technical ownership with a recruiter’s eye for team growth and operationalizing data systems in high-velocity startups.
