Andrej Luneski joined Easygo just over a year ago and has gone from building the engineering function in Belgrade to leading engineering effectiveness across the entire global business. We sat down with him to talk about what that shift actually looks like, and what it takes to thrive in a place like this.
How long have you been at Easygo?
Just over a year. I originally joined the team in Belgrade, Serbia.
Can you share what your new role involves and how it differs from your previous one?
In this new role, I’m focused on aligning our engineering efforts more closely with business outcomes. That means working in partnership with our product teams for both Stake and KICK to ensure we’re solving the right problems, delivering value, and scaling the right solutions, not inefficiencies.
The biggest shift is the broader remit. While I was already involved across both Stake and KICK, my previous focus was more local. I helped build and scale the engineering function in Belgrade, hiring the right people and setting the foundation for culture and capability. Now, I’m looking at engineering effectiveness across the whole business globally.
What’s been the most rewarding part of your journey?
At Easygo, you’re trusted with ownership from day one. If you have the capability and drive, there is no ceiling to what you can take on. Compared to more traditional tech environments where progress can be slow and tied up in approvals, here you’re empowered immediately. That level of trust and autonomy is rare, and it’s incredibly inspiring to see what people can achieve when given that opportunity.
What are your top priorities in this role?
My primary focus is caring deeply about engineering health and excellence. Embedding strong metrics, practices, and continuous improvement into how we work. This means tracking effectiveness and efficiency, ensuring team well-being, and raising the overall quality bar so Engineering remains a competitive advantage for the company.
Second, aligning Engineering with business and product goals in a more outcome-driven way. We want to scale efficiently while making sure our teams are solving the most important problems and directly contributing to company outcomes.
Finally, how we adopt and scale AI, not just as a coding co-pilot, but as a tool to improve daily workflows, documentation, hiring, and overall engineering effectiveness.
What have you learned as a leader that you’ll carry forward?
Integrity makes a lasting impact. In tech, it’s easy to focus on speed and output, but leadership is about being consistent in your actions and words. People need to see that you stand by what you say. That builds trust.
I see myself as a service-based leader. I stay close to the team, fill the small gaps where needed, and lead by example. I believe in efficiency, protecting time for deep work, streamlining meetings, and making onboarding as seamless as possible. Leadership is not just about setting direction. It is about enabling others to succeed.
What advice would you give to those looking to grow their careers here?
Easygo is a place for people who want to take ownership and grow fast. If you’re ambitious, hands-on, and ready to be part of a high-performing environment, you’ll thrive.
This is also true for those interested in leadership. You can have an impact beyond writing code, whether it’s influencing strategy, improving processes, or shaping culture. If you’re ready to contribute beyond your immediate role, there’s room to grow.
