Senior🎓
Top SchoolVladimir Shushlin is a software engineering manager based in Amsterdam with 14 years in software engineering and over a decade of hands-on experience at GitLab, where he now leads the Product Planning team for Agile Planning. He has a track record of turning burned-out teams into high-morale, high-delivery units, slashing API latencies 2–5x via cross-team working groups and eliminating sev1/2 and security backlogs quickly. Technically grounded from backend and fullstack roles, he drove major GitLab Pages and Runner Fleet improvements—reducing deployment times from hours to minutes and designing DDoS and storage refactors—and contributes to open-source Omnibus GitLab optimizations. He reliably promotes and grows engineers, improves availability to 99.98%+, and ships customer-adopted features that resolve long-standing public backlog requests. A pragmatic leader, he blends deep technical ownership with structured agile planning and measurable team development outcomes.
