Carlos Saura

As a seasoned Leader in Software Engineering, I am passionate about driving business impact through Agile, Lean, and DevOps methodologies. With a proven track record of scaling high-performing engineering organizations and delivering innovative SaaS solutions, I thrive in fast-paced, outcome-driven environments. I excel at fostering a culture of trust, collaboration, and accountability while aligning technology roadmaps with strategic business objectives.

Currently serving as Director of Engineering at NewWork, I have led engineering strategy and execution for multiple areas, including B2B e-Recruiting, Platform & eCommerce, and Commerce Platform. My leadership has scaled engineering teams by hiring, mentoring, and coaching Engineering Managers, resulting in high-performing teams. I have implemented initiatives to foster a culture of feedback, innovation, and collaboration, improving hiring efficiency and reducing drop-off rates by 30% while enhancing diversity.

My technical expertise includes applying Domain-Driven Design (DDD) and social architecture principles to optimize teams' autonomy, delivery, and efficiency. I have championed comprehensive KPI frameworks to elevate engineering excellence and led critical technology decisions to optimize backend technology stacks, resulting in improved delivery and remediation times.
