Summary
Sergey Evstifeev is an experienced engineering leader based in Stockholm with 12 years of hands-on and management experience building full-stack products, production infrastructure, and continuous delivery pipelines. He has scaled and evolved teams across fintech and payments—leading launches like Tink’s Settlement Accounts—and blends pragmatic product thinking with lean, waste-reducing practices. Comfortable moving between code, CI/CD tooling, and organisational growth, Sergey has driven migrations to API gateways, introduced frontend CD and testing cultures, and improved on-call reliability. As an independent consultant and contractor for firms like EQT and SEB he pairs strategic roadmap work with hands-on delivery, and he’s known for defining minimal viable scope to accelerate safe launches. His background in distributed systems (from Erlang to Kafka) and formal training in engineering and management gives him a rare combination of technical depth and people-first leadership.
