Senior🎓
Top SchoolEsben Nielsen is a seasoned infrastructure and platform engineering leader with 13 years of experience building internal cloud platforms, on-premise bare-metal Kubernetes, and automated infrastructure at scale. Currently VP Infrastructure Platform Engineering at group.one, he oversees developer platforms, CI/CD, compute, storage, observability, networking, data center operations and procurement—bringing end-to-end ownership from hardware to developer experience. He has a strong hands-on background in Hadoop, Terraform, Ansible and IaC, and previously led the rapid growth of one.com’s infrastructure team to deliver a company-wide internal cloud. With academic roots in physics and computer science, Esben pairs methodical systems thinking with practical execution and a reputation for making platforms both performant and pleasant to use. An understated but consistent thread in his career is integrating physical hardware lifecycles with modern cloud-native practices to reduce operational friction.
