Summary
Schaiana Sonaglio is an engineering manager based in Berlin with 8 years of hands-on experience building and scaling platform and payments teams across SaaS and security-focused companies. She excels at turning chaotic projects into deliverable roadmaps—restarting stalled initiatives, reorganizing teams into autonomous workstreams, and embedding a documentation and testing culture that raised new payments repos to over 98% coverage. Comfortable both in technical discussions and people leadership, she has hired and grown high-performing squads from scratch, balanced dual legacy/new-system development, and continuously reduced technical debt through pragmatic improvement tasks. Her background spans SRE, migrations to Kubernetes, automation for large product internationalization, and direct API integration work, giving her rare fluency from infrastructure to product. Colleagues describe her as inquisitive and servant-minded, creating safe teams where experimentation is encouraged and learning is the default outcome.
