Iosif Vigh
@iosifv
Senior software engineer specialising in backend, cloud and DevOps.
What I'm looking for
I am a Senior Software Engineer with 10+ years of experience architecting and delivering backend systems using Node.js and Laravel, with deep expertise in cloud infrastructure and DevOps automation. I translate complex requirements into maintainable, high-performance systems through clean architecture, automated testing and resilient deployments.
I've worked across fintech, healthtech and regulatory compliance, leading full product lifecycles as an individual contributor and as a technical lead. Notable achievements include designing a serverless invoicing system that ran reliably for years, migrating critical systems with zero downtime to achieve large performance gains, and reducing infrastructure costs by 40% through platform migrations.
I focus on aligning technical outcomes with business needs, mentoring teams, and shipping products in fast-paced, agile environments. I seek roles that leverage modern stacks, robust testing and pragmatic tradeoffs to solve high-impact problems.
