Data engineer and team leader with 10+ years across data engineering, analytics, and AI. I build and scale data functions, standing teams up from scratch and taking existing ones to the next level: defining strategy, hiring, and delivering the pipelines and infrastructure that drive business decisions.
Repeatedly trusted as the founding or rebuilding data hire at product companies like Productboard, Deepnote, and ShipMonk. Most recently focused on applied AI: building the data layer behind a real-time, dynamic pricing engine on Databricks and Spark.
Open to leadership and advisory conversations in data & AI. Best way to reach me: matus.pavliscak@gmail.com.

“I had the privilege of working with Matus at Productboard, and he’s one of those leaders who makes a massive impact very quickly.
Matus took on the challenge of completely reshaping our data stack. Thanks to his leadership and technical expertise, he not only revamped our processes but also brought back trust in our data and systems. Resilience became a core strength under his watch, and it’s a testament to the incredible work he and his team delivered.
One thing I really admire about Matus is how engaged and responsive he is. He’s always there when it counts, ensuring his team consistently beats SLAs and handles any challenge that comes their way. Whether it’s a high-pressure incident or a complex project milestone, Matus is the calm, capable leader you want in your corner.
If you’re looking for someone who’s not only brilliant technically but also a fantastic team player and leader, I can’t recommend Matus enough.”
“Matus is one of a kind. I regularly collaborate with him and his team to manage data for our GTM organization.
He has a real talent for bringing people together to solve tough, nuanced problems with clarity and focus. His mix of deep technical expertise and business acumen makes him an invaluable partner to our GTM operations. He advocates for his team, communicates his perspectives clearly, and provides thoughtful guidance to the business.
Working with Matus has been both productive and impactful. He’s a great asset to any organization.”
“I truly enjoyed working with Matus for the last 12 months, wish it could be more. Matus is hard-working and always stays on top of the latest technologies and best practices. Not only he deeply cares about his domain but was also always open and honest to set me straight when I needed some feedback. Matus will be a great asset to any team or company he will join and I am sure we will hear about his own company soon too. Matus, wish you all the best and hope our paths cross in the future again.”
