Kiril Kurshin

I am a Senior Backend Engineer and Technical Co-founder with over a decade of experience designing, building, and evolving scalable software solutions. My career has been defined by a high-ownership mindset and the ability to solve complex technical and architectural challenges independently.

My core achievement has been single-handedly driving the full technical lifecycle of an international SaaS platform, Chotam.io. I successfully migrated a legacy Ruby monolith into a high-performance Golang microservices architecture using RabbitMQ, PostgreSQL, and Redis. By rewriting critical background processors in Go and optimizing database performance, I boosted overall system speed 10x and eliminated a 20-minute notification lag. This technical overhaul shifted data delivery to near real-time, directly resulting in a 15x increase in customer lifetime value (LTV).

Beyond backend architecture, I am deeply interested in system infrastructure, observability, and full-stack alignment. I heavily utilize Docker and Docker Compose for containerization, and I have implemented robust system monitoring using Prometheus and Grafana. My technical versatility also extends to frontend development (Vue.js/Quasar) and maintaining self-hosted open-source toolsets.

Having managed large teams of up to 70+ people in my past leadership roles, I combine strong engineering execution with business acumen and exceptional soft skills. I am looking for a remote Senior/Lead Golang or Full-Stack position where I can take complete ownership of complex backend systems and deliver measurable product value.
