Vitaliy Stanyshevskyy

Hej, I'm Vitaliy.

Engineering manager and product engineering lead.

Hands-on engineering manager with 5+ years of engineering leadership and 10+ years in software engineering, leading cross-functional teams to build customer-facing products and integration-heavy systems in fast-moving environments.

Based in Copenhagen and open to remote and hybrid leadership opportunities.

Summary

I work best in player-coach roles where I can help a team grow while staying close to the work itself. My experience is strongest in React and TypeScript environments, and I care about helping teams move fast without losing quality, reliability, or clear ownership.

I currently work with Awaze, a travel platform company, and previously worked at Pleo, a spend management fintech. I have led teams in remote and hybrid setups, with a focus on strong engineering standards, coaching, and clear execution.

Selected impact

  • Led remote and hybrid product teams of up to 10 engineers across payments, travel, and ecommerce.
  • Shipped employee reimbursements to personal bank accounts at Pleo, supporting more than EUR 4.5M in monthly transfers.
  • Introduced quality gates and better test coverage at Awaze, contributing to an approximately 40% reduction in production incidents.
  • Reduced QA handover time at Awaze from up to one day to roughly 20 minutes by making the development environment independently testable.
