Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolSimon Massey is a seasoned data and platform engineering leader with 14 years of experience delivering cloud-native, scalable systems across banking and FinTech. He has led large transformations—designing Data Mesh platforms, microfrontends and Kubernetes-based infrastructures at firms such as HSBC, Northern Trust and Goldman Sachs—consistently reducing time-to-value and cost-of-ownership. Skilled at scaling teams and operations, he has grown platform squads from small vendors to multi-scrum, multi-vendor organisations supporting hundreds of millions of positions and hundreds of billions in client portfolios. He blends hands-on DevOps engineering (improving CI/CD and automated GitHub releases for notable open-source projects) with advisory roles in startups, helping deploy zero-knowledge security libraries and GitOps workflows. Simon is equally comfortable architecting compliance-safe data pipelines (including crypto-shredding and production deletes) as mentoring interns into production engineers. Based in Woking, he pairs deep technical breadth with a pragmatic delivery focus and ongoing executive education in organisational leadership.
