Summary
Simon Mittermueller is a Staff Software Engineer based in Munich with 13 years of hands-on experience building and modernizing large-scale, high-throughput systems. He specializes in bridging technical execution and executive strategy, driving company-wide initiatives like service retirements, migrations and standardizing on Java to improve onboarding and developer productivity. At AutoScout24 he transformed a 50+ service legacy landscape, delivering cost savings, reduced maintenance and unblocking major product work while coaching engineers to promotion.
