Senior🎓
Top SchoolSimon Beaulieu is a software engineer with 11 years of experience specializing in developer experience, CI/CD, test automation, and systems design, currently building platform tooling at Elastic. He has led enterprise DX initiatives at Pleo—architecting Port, engineering metrics, and an AWS Bedrock-backed AI tooling stack that enabled hundreds of engineers to use Claude Code with zero configuration. Hands-on with TypeScript, Cypress, Terraform, GitHub Actions and observability tooling, he consistently reduces toil by automating integrations and standardizing workflows across hundreds of repos. His background in quality engineering and data-driven metrics (DORA, scorecards) informs pragmatic technical strategy that improves deployment confidence and developer productivity. An early contributor to Mattermost webapp E2E tests, he brings practical open-source testing experience to large-scale platform problems. Outside work he channels the same craft into cooking and woodworking, and prefers clear goals plus a bit of pressure to do his best engineering.
