Evgeny Soynov

* From Dec 2024 to Jan 2026, expanded scope during an organizational transition to support 7 teams (~56 engineers, 7 Tech Leads, 5 Engineering Managers). * Directed an unplanned enterprise migration of 150+ GitHub repositories, reallocating capacity across teams. * Hire, coach, and develop Engineering Managers and senior technical leaders in prioritization, delegation, performance management, and stakeholder communication; contributed to 7 engineer promotions and 3 transitions into Tech Lead roles.

As an engineering manager I led 2 engineering teams, 8 full-stack engineers in total, including 2 leads responsible for merchandising tools. I did individual and team performance management, and career development for engineers.

I joined to take position of Head of Web Development in order to form a team of existing employees and new hires, establish the result-focused culture, and set up communications and processes to align the new department with company’s mission. One of the biggest product we worked on is unified microservice-based platform to unite the most critical services that collectively contribute to 90% of the revenue.

The challenge was to first set and then maintain gradual growth of team’s performance, constantly fine tuning the development process, and keeping the team motivated for the long run. We created and successfully delivered a dozen applications and websites for our clients, advertisement agencies.
