Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSimon Albrecht is a Senior Software Engineer and tech lead based in Zurich with 11 years of hands-on experience building front- and back-end systems for products ranging from Conversational AI platforms to high-traffic consumer services. He has led growth-focused engineering teams at Doodle, running 80+ A/B tests that drove over CHF 1.2M in annual recurring revenue and shipped experiments to a 30M user base. Comfortable across JavaScript/TypeScript frontends and Java microservices, he pairs product-minded engineering with DevOps practices like containerization, CI/CD and cloud infrastructure. A former founder and repeat mentor, Simon assesses candidates, delivers tech talks, and coaches engineers through career growth. He is selective about roles—preferring permanent, non-relocating positions outside financial services—which reflects a disciplined approach to career fit and long-term impact. Not obvious at first glance: his background includes both mainframe-era enterprise work and modern cloud-native architectures, giving him rare breadth across legacy and cutting-edge stacks.
