I was delighted to be joined recently on the podcast by Carlos Andrioli, a senior technology leader with over 20 years of experience building high-performance, scalable and secure systems across fintech, SaaS, AI and cloud-native platforms. Carlos has led engineering teams at organisations including Liberis, Trade Republic, Plum and ultimate.ai, and is also the CTO & Co-Founder of GetLost, where he’s helped shape both the technical architecture and the product vision from day one. With deep expertise in microservices, event-driven systems, cloud infrastructure and regulated environments, Carlos brings a pragmatic “build smart, do more with less” mindset to leadership. In this episode, we talk about scaling engineering teams, building resilient architectures, hiring great engineers, and what strong technical leadership really looks like in fast-moving businesses.
