Erik Lundblad

Engineering Manager

I'm an Engineering Manager with a strong technical foundation and a passion for building high-performing teams. With over 15 years in software development, I bring hands-on experience across the full development lifecycle, from architecture to deployment.

I lead teams that deliver scalable, cloud-based platforms, focusing on creating an inclusive engineering culture where people can do their best work. I'm experienced with JVM technologies, cloud infrastructure, and distributed systems, and I stay close to the technical details while empowering my teams to own their solutions.
