Top SchoolVaidas Pilkauskas is a Staff Engineer with 11+ years building developer tooling and backend systems, currently focused on Bazel infrastructure at Shopify after leading Bazel CI and developer experience initiatives at Wix. He is a polyglot engineer comfortable in Scala and Java who applies test-first development and Linux-native workflows to large-scale build and dependency problems, including IDE integrations and remote development work. Vaidas blends hands-on engineering with people leadership — having grown and managed backend teams at Wix and bootstrapped units at Swedbank — and co-founded the Vilnius Java User Group to cultivate the local developer community. Notably, he pairs deep build-system expertise (Starlark, Bazel) with practical open source advocacy and a habit of turning hobbyist interests into sustained community projects.
