ABOUT STEPHAN KAISER
Engineering Manager passionate about building platforms and developing people. With over a decade in tech-driven environments, I specialize in leading cross-functional engineering teams, driving agile transformations, and creating the foundations that other teams depend on. I began my career in software engineering and business applications, progressing into roles where I led engineering teams building mission-critical platforms at ALDI International IT. As IT Service Owner, I managed systems used across multiple countries, led 15-20 engineers, and steered 30+ offshore developers, always focusing on technical excellence and team growth. My approach: empower engineers with context and autonomy, build scalable platforms, and foster environments where people do their best work. Currently exploring AI’s impact on engineering productivity and developer experience.
