Summary
Stephane Moracchini is a seasoned engineering leader and product-minded software maker with nearly two decades of experience scaling consumer-facing platforms and payments systems. Based in London, he currently serves as VP of Engineering at Lyst after leading large cross-functional tribes responsible for a 18M-product catalog and multi-squad checkout and payments efforts. He combines hands-on backend expertise in Python, Node.js, Rust, Ruby and Go with product instincts—having built everything from crypto exchanges and chatbots to high-retention coaching products and email/CRM systems. His track record includes complex migrations (Python 2→3), PCI-compliant payment integrations (Stripe, Klarna), and operationalizing high-volume email and experimentation infrastructure. A founder at heart, he has repeatedly led small engineering teams to launch viable products and measurable growth, and he brings an uncommon mix of technical depth, product sense and growth-oriented experimentation. Outside work he’s a self-described Corsican tech addict, hinting at a creative, restless curiosity that fuels both engineering and product innovation.
