Summary
Yonatan Krieger is a results-driven Head of Engineering with 15+ years of experience building and scaling R&D organizations across startups and enterprise SaaS companies. He has led teams of 15–40 engineers to deliver production-grade distributed systems, microservice platforms and CI/CD-driven SaaS products, most recently steering engineering at Charm Security after senior leadership roles at Palo Alto Networks and Cider Security. Yonatan combines hands-on technical depth (Node.js, Kubernetes/EKS, AWS, Kafka, databases like Mongo/Postgres/Neo4j) with a talent for establishing cross-functional processes—Agile/SCRUM, release pipelines and outbound interfaces to Product, CS and Sales—that turn prototypes into paying customers. Known for mentoring team leads and defining technical roadmaps, he often stays partially hands-on while scaling teams across locations. Based in Israel, he blends startup builder instincts (co-founded BarMatch) with enterprise discipline to deliver velocity without sacrificing reliability.
