Siret Tikka is an experienced engineering leader with 11 years building resilient, cloud-native financial systems, currently heading Treasury Management as Associate Engineering Manager at Pleo. She progressed from hands-on backend roles into tech lead positions owning credit products and cash flow, shipping services on Kotlin, PostgreSQL, Kubernetes, GCP, Kafka and observability stacks. Her background spans fintech payments, loans and billing at Zettle, Volvo Car Mobility and startups, giving her deep domain knowledge of payments integrations, lending products and treasury operations. She mentors junior engineers, facilitates team processes like retros and onboarding, and has repeatedly driven metrics and observability adoption to improve operational reliability. Unusually for a tech lead, she also founded and shipped a one-person e-commerce platform early in her career, reflecting strong end-to-end product instincts.
