Igor Golovanov

Engineering Manager @ Pluto TV (Paramount) — leading the Discovery & Personalization platform serving 80M+ MAU across 30+ countries on the world's #1 free ad-supported streaming service.

I lead engineering teams and architect cloud-native backends at scale. Focused on high-load distributed systems on Kubernetes (AWS/GCP), AI-driven Search & personalization, and data platforms operating reliably across regions.

What I focus on

  • AI-driven Search & Personalization at scale — hybrid retrieval (BM25 + dense embeddings), ANN/HNSW candidate generation, learning-to-rank, vector search, LLM/RAG for query understanding
  • High-load distributed systems — multi-region services on Kubernetes (AWS/GCP), graceful degradation, tiered caching, idempotency, stable p95/p99 under prime-time peaks
  • Personalization delivery platforms — multi-strategy serving (trending, geo/category, similarity, continuation), A/B testing infrastructure, online signals & embeddings pipelines
  • Engineering leadership — leading engineering teams, career growth and internal promotions, cross-functional alignment with Product, Data Science, and ML Platform
  • Reliability & observability — multi-cloud strategy, cost optimization, SRE foundation with 99.9% availability SLO

Open to

Conversations about high-load architecture, multi-region platforms, AI-native search & personalization, and data systems at scale.
