Background

About Guybert Renneville

Discaimer: If you are a recruiter for consulting companies, please do not contact me, I will not be interested. Thanks I am an Engineering Manager at Malt, leading four teams of 2 to 5 senior developers working on strategic projects around payments, e-invoicing, and international scalability. Our mission is to redesign and automate financial flows (~€70M per month) while ensuring regulatory compliance across multiple countries. Key Contributions Team Structuring & Empowerment: I have coached my tech leads—especially in one of the company’s most complex squads—to become autonomous and highly effective. Process Optimization & Risk Management: I led the definition of a fraud handling process, aligning all stakeholders and clarifying ownership. As a result, we unblocked €700K stuck in the system and detected fraud attempts before they had any impact. Hiring & Team Culture: I conducted 75+ interviews to hire top-tier developers, ensuring they were skilled, product-minded, and adaptable to our fast-paced environment. I also structured an onboarding plan with tech leads to accelerate their ramp-up. Stakeholder Collaboration & Strategic Alignment: I act as a bridge between tech, finance, and compliance, ensuring efficient coordination and prioritization of key initiatives. Hands-off Leadership & Servant Leadership: I foster a trust-based, feedback-driven environment, where each team member is challenged and supported to grow. My philosophy is to coach myself out of being needed, promoting autonomy and ownership. Current Focus & Next Challenges With a growing team, I have stepped back from daily technical involvement to focus on high-level, strategic topics: Improving coordination between squads Clarify the communication with the stakeholders Formalizing efficient decision-making processes Adapting our hiring strategy to attract the right profiles Supporting two junior tech leads in newly created teams Onboarding 5 newcomers into my teams Always happy to connect and exchange on tech leadership, hiring, and building high-performing engineering teams!
