Dror Ben-gai is a seasoned staff software engineer based in Israel with over two decades of experience building and leading engineering teams across startups and large enterprises. He blends hands-on backend and systems expertise—from early work on networking and authentication at Cisco to cloud security analytics and Hadoop-driven data services at Akamai—with recent leadership and staff engineering roles at AppsFlyer and product work at Snyk and Spectralops. Known for recruiting and growing high-performing teams, Dror has repeatedly shipped data-heavy, customer-facing applications and centralized services that translate large-scale telemetry into actionable insights. He switches comfortably between coding and management, designing end-to-end features that span databases, APIs, and UX, and he’s taken deliberate sabbatical time to learn new skills and recharge—evidence of a pragmatic long-term career approach.
