Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSimon Sołtysiak is a Berlin-based staff engineer and hands-on tech lead with 11 years of experience building product-focused engineering organisations and frontend platforms. He combines T-shaped technical depth in React, Micro-Frontends and data warehousing (BigQuery, DBT) with people-first leadership—coaching engineers, hiring, and translating business strategy into technical roadmaps and OKRs. Simon has led engineering through multiple startup stages, from founding-era frontend architecture at Vermietet.de to driving integrations and cloud migrations after acquisition, and more recently shaping growth and payments at RIDE Capital. He champions pragmatic engineering practices—TDD, pair programming and rapid feedback loops—while staying deeply involved in implementation and tradeoff decisions. Notably, he has repeatedly bridged product, design and data by creating tracking plans and KPI dashboards that turn analytics into actionable product changes.
