Alisa Mansurova is a pragmatic founding engineer and backend specialist with 11 years in engineering and over 17 years in tech, evolving from manual QA to senior backend and SRE-focused roles. She builds reliable, scalable systems with Python/Django, GraphQL and a strong data stack (Postgres, Redshift, Snowflake) while owning DevOps and observability using Kubernetes, Terraform and DataDog. At Preply she led cross-cutting initiatives—introducing company-wide TypeScript, bootstrapping micro-frontends, automating staging for PRs, and creating developer tools (VSCode/Chrome plugins and ESLint rules) that materially improved productivity and reduced toil. Comfortable across frontend and backend boundaries, she pairs product-facing UX work with low-level infrastructure improvements and incident runbooks to elevate team resilience. Now scaling a new venture as Founding Engineer at Synkka, she brings a detail-oriented, SRE-minded approach that favors clean, automatable solutions and measurable developer experience gains. An uncommon strength is her history of shipping developer tooling that both accelerates delivery and simplifies long-term maintenance.
