Summary
Stylianos Rigas is a Site Reliability Engineering leader with nine years of experience building and operating cloud-native platforms, currently leading SRE and platform engineering at Mattermost from London. He combines deep hands-on expertise in Terraform, Kubernetes, Golang, AWS and observability stacks (Prometheus/Grafana, ELK) with practical GitOps and operator-driven deployments that power Mattermost Cloud. Previously he led cloud systems teams at Cloudreach, helping enterprises like BP and the Financial Times migrate and secure multi-account AWS estates while driving CI/CD and IaC adoption. A Cambridge MPhil and mechanical engineering background give him a systems-thinking approach to reliability and cost-conscious architecture. Colleagues describe him as an engineer who moves smoothly between strategic platform decisions and low-level automation, often surfacing non-obvious operational efficiencies.
