Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSteffen Hinderer is a product-focused tech leader with 11+ years of hands-on engineering and product management experience building cloud, connectivity, and autonomous driving systems. He blends technical depth with a people-first leadership style, having led cross-functional, distributed teams to deliver mission-critical services for Mercedes-Benz at global scale. Notable outcomes include an event-driven ETL migration that improved reliability by 30%, an 80% cloud cost reduction (~$900k/year), and a service consolidation that saved $1.4M annually while freeing thousands of upgrade hours. Comfortable switching between strategy and execution, he has repeatedly driven greenfield products (e.g., Shadow Mode data platform) and platform automation that cut cloud provisioning from days to minutes. Curious about local AI, home labs, and open source, he pairs measurable operational impact with a knack for fostering ownership and sustainable engineering cultures.
