Summary
Sabbir Siddiqui is a pragmatic software engineering leader with over a decade of experience building and scaling web and serverless systems from Dhaka. Currently Director of Software Engineering at Optimizely, he combines hands-on backend work (Node.js, Python, Java) with people and process leadership to deliver product-aligned, reliable platforms. His background spans technical leadership at ShopUp and Infolytx, where he led microservices, ML/NLP-enabled solutions, serverless AWS infrastructures, and production image/object-detection pipelines. He’s comfortable shifting between high-level architecture and writing the code—optimizing databases, APIs, and ETL flows—and has run cross-functional teams across locations. A former founder and long-term implementer of engineering processes, he brings both startup resourcefulness and enterprise delivery discipline. Off-hours he jokes he’s “lazy but productive,” a concise hint at a focus on efficiency and pragmatic automation.
