Anna, Engineering Manager
Meet the Catawikian
What was an exciting challenge you worked on recently?
I recently made the leap from being an individual contributor to becoming a manager.
For me, It’s still important to stay hands-on, as I love the work I was doing as an individual contributor. At the same time, I recognise that I can broaden my impact even more through my managerial role.
Finding the balance between these two worlds on a daily basis is both challenging and exciting. As a bonus, this transition has also doubled the pool of people I can learn from.
Is there something new in the industry (tool, trend, approach) that you are excited about?
A few months ago, we introduced the Kubernetes Gateway API add-on to our infraStack. This successor of Ingress API comes with additional access controls and functionality, long awaited by the Kubernetes community.
This should simplify the day-to-day life of our Platform Engineers and streamline processes around traffic routing. I’m looking forward to getting my hands on it!
What do you consider success at Catawiki?
My personal recipe for success at Catawiki consists of three things:
- Focusing on business impact
- Continuously aligning with stakeholders and teams
- Having fun along the way, facing issues and addressing them quickly is much easier with the right attitude

What do you love about your team the most?
There’s definitely such a long list of things I love about my team! I feel really lucky to work with a bunch of passionate people, who truly treasure their craft.
It also happens to be that they’re kind and supportive folk. As a result, we have a team of strong players, who have each other's backs. I don’t take this for granted.
What can the new Catawikian expect if they join now?
It’s been just over two years since I joined Catawiki. The company is eager to grow and this is evident through various organisational transformations I’ve witnessed over this time.
Naturally, this brings challenging tasks but fortunately, your teammates are there to navigate these together. This dynamic environment provides plenty of opportunities for you to grow alongside Catawiki.
