Senior🎓
Top SchoolVictor Asteinza is a Staff Backend Software Engineer in Portland with 14+ years building resilient APIs, backend systems, and teams across startups and scale-ups. He blends hands-on Ruby on Rails and Java expertise with cloud and data-store experience (Postgres, Redis, AWS) and a pragmatic focus on code quality, testing, and delivery. As former CTO of Fleet Logistics he scaled engineering, QA, and product teams and led a strategic pivot that culminated in an acquisition, yet he actively prefers returning to senior-IC work solving architecture and integration challenges. Colleagues describe him as collaborative, opinionated but approachable, who champions empowerment, retrospectives, and process improvements. Off-hours he channels systems thinking into puzzles and games—co-founding Puzzled Pint and helping create Portland’s first escape room—bringing a playful, design-driven mindset to technical problem solving.
