Summary
Stefan Franzén is an engineering leader with nine years of experience building high-performing teams and modern delivery practices across fintech and product companies, now leading Platform Engineering at Brite Payments in Stockholm. He has a strong background as a Quality Coach and Software Development Engineer in Test, helping organizations adopt Continuous Delivery, DevOps and “you-build-it-you-run-it” mindsets while automating pipelines and infrastructure as code. At Qred he scaled the product org from 6 to 80 people and has repeatedly stepped into hands-on roles—from interim CTO to founding mob-programming squads—to drive culture, developer experience and measurable delivery improvements. Stefan blends technical fluency in AWS, serverless, CI/CD and observability with a talent for people development and pragmatic process change. He’s known for dismantling siloed QA models in favor of whole-team ownership and for turning quality initiatives into faster, more reliable releases. An advocate of mob programming and continuous testing, he often pairs with teams to embed practices rather than just prescribe them.
