About Rostislav Rabotnik

I steer Handshake’s data architecture, transforming the rich signals of its three-sided marketplace into self-service insights that accelerate job-seeker success and power company growth. My craft: scalable data models, modern analytics platforms, and governance frameworks that let product teams, data scientists, and engineers move fast with confidence.Previously, as Senior Principal Data Architect at Atlassian, I overhauled the analytics ecosystem across multiple domains, embedding a data-centric culture and engineering excellence. That work sharpened the skills I now bring to Handshake—cloud-native design, large-scale data modeling, and strategic data governance.Passionate about mentorship and cross-functional alignment, I translate complex technical challenges into clear, ambitious roadmaps and consistently raise the bar for data quality, stewardship, and operational excellence.
