Nir Solomon

“Nir and I have been working closely for the past 6.5 years! I was lucky to experience Nir in several roles during that time in Singular. 1. As fellow engineers - we worked together on major projects in Singular, I had the pleasure to see how Nir has the ability to break down any complex problem we had to solve, execute the best solution, and most importantly, do it really fast. Nir has the ability to deliver quickly and with high quality (a lot of the code we wrote 6 years ago is running on an incredible scale and serves over 600 customers every day). Nir is technology oriented and never drew back from trying new solutions, I can easily list a long variety of technologies he worked with from MySQL, Druid, Python, and Django to React and UI / UX solutions. Nir is indeed a full-stack engineer and can easily deliver projects E2E. 2. As fellow team leaders - we both managed R&D teams for over 2 years together. Nir's ability to successfully plan and execute major projects and extremely high-profile ones (with major customers pressing) is admirable. Nir has a way to manage and push his team forward toward success while keeping a friendly environment in the team. Nir's team was highly motivated and was able to deliver a lot of complex projects every quarter and I believe I never saw someone distributes his attention so well between so many goals :) 3. As VP R&D - I had the pleasure to work with Nir for over a year while he was VP R&D (while I had the role of Chief Architect). We worked closely together, always thinking ahead about how to make our R&D organization the best possible. Nir always had the company goals in his mind, and always thought about how the company's growth will be affected by his plans and decisions. He was always able to form great relationships with all departments and built processes to optimize how the organization executes. Nir always made sure he creates paths for engineers and managers alike to advance such as professional development paths, effective structural reorganization, technical blog, sending engineers to conferences, etc. To summarize, from my experience, Nir is super versatile, can take any leadership role, and solve complex engineering problems. Nir is humble and friendly and he always gives people the feeling their work is being valued.”

“Nir and I worked closely together for 4 years at Singular leading initiatives and products together - Nir from the engineering side, and myself from the PM side. Nir is an exceptional engineer, leader, and colleague and it was a pleasure and a privilege to work together. Some of the things that really stood out to me were: 1. Focus - Nir excels at is focusing on the right problems and priorities. This is an incredibly rare skill, and one which enables the team and the organization to thrive and to focus its efforts. 2. Capacity to learn and improve - Nir is continuously trying to improve both himself as well as the organization and is always looking to improve the way we work. He instilled a culture of constant learning and improvement which helped the organization improve. Just as importantly, he excels at being decisive - keeping that processes that work, iterating on the ones that dont, and making clear and timely decisions. 3. Strong engineering skills - It was incredibly valuable to to the organization to have an engineering leader who was also an exceptional engineer. This enabled him to mentor engineers as well as dive deeply into technical issues whenever it was required. 4. Strong Collaborator - Its a testament to Nirso's skills that we had strong collaboration between the different teams in the org, and a true sense of unified objectives. Nir was able to achieve this while still maintaining his priorities and agenda, and finding the right balance to help the organization improve.”
