Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolWillian Paixao is a Senior Software Engineer based in Stockholm with 12 years of experience building resilient, cloud-native infrastructure and developer platforms for startups and enterprises. He has a strong SRE/DevOps pedigree — leading zero-downtime upgrades for a 100k+ node Ethereum network, managing live Olympic-scale broadcasts, and designing CI/CD and onboarding processes for large banks and fintechs. A serial operator-founder, he co-founded open-source platform MOSS and led 0+X, delivering infrastructure and advisory work for customers like Klarna and Spotify. Willian mixes low-level systems know-how (kernel modules, embedded work) with modern tooling (Kubernetes, Terraform, Ansible) and a knack for improving developer experience via clean APIs and automation. He also contributes to notable open-source projects such as Zipline, focusing on documentation and developer workflows to make complex tooling more accessible. Expect an engineer who asks “what happens when this needs to handle 10x more” and then builds the systems to prove it.
