Staff Engineer / Team Lead

Jonas Petrik

I lead checkout at SCAYLE, working on backend and platform problems inside a commerce platform serving Harrods, Deichmann, and 100+ brands.

My focus is payment-critical reliability, pragmatic architecture, and reducing operational noise so teams can ship fast without creating 3am problems.

What I worked on and what changed

A quick view of the systems I worked on, the scale they ran at, and a few concrete examples of the work behind them.

01

Checkout reliability and observability

At SCAYLE, I took ownership of on-call quality for a payment-critical checkout domain.

I focused on alert quality, observability, and the failure paths that were waking people up for the wrong reasons.

The result was a calmer on-call setup with more trustworthy alerts and less operational noise.

Evidence: That work became part of the reason I was promoted into the current lead role.

    Black Friday 2025 preparation

    Checkout had to stay stable through the most demanding commerce event of the year.

    I helped prepare and operate the domain around peak traffic, with attention to multi-step state changes, incident response, and runtime behavior under load.

    Peak tenants handled roughly 550 orders per minute during Black Friday 2025 with zero downtime in the domain I was responsible for.

    Evidence: The site now frames that number as domain impact, not as a blanket claim over the whole business.

  2. 03

    anwalt.de search rebuild and platform modernization

    anwalt.de needed stronger search capabilities and better foundations for future product work.

    I rebuilt search around GraphQL, geolocation, aggregations, and range filters, then stepped into broader team lead and platform work.

    That work improved a core marketplace experience and led into architectural, CI/CD, and mentoring responsibilities adopted across the team.

    Evidence: It is one of the clearest examples of individual technical ownership that later expanded into leadership scope.
