  4. #17 - How Zalando Engineers Software & AI at Scale - Bartosz Ocytko (Executive Principal Engineer)
What does it take to scale agentic coding across a large
engineering organization?In this episode of bynd code,

I’m joined by Bartosz Ocytko, Executive Principal Engineer
Zalando to explore how one of Europe’s most sophisticated
engineering organizations is evolving software development in the
age of AI. Bartosz isn’t just working on AI features, he helps
shape the engineering platforms, developer infrastructure, and
technical practices that enable reliable software at scale. From
operating hundreds of production systems to building internal LLM
platforms and preparing the organization for autonomous coding
agents, this conversation is a rare look behind the scenes of
enterprise engineering.

We dive deep into agentic AI, MCP infrastructure, model serving,
shared GPU platforms, and how Zalando enables engineers to adopt
AI without sacrificing security, governance, or developer
experience.

We also discuss one of the most fascinating topics in modern
software engineering: how AI is changing the way we measure code
quality. Bartosz shares Zalando’s research into pull request
growth, cyclomatic complexity, risk-based PR analysis, and
AI-powered platform migrations across thousands of repositories.

What we discussed:

How Zalando approaches agentic coding at enterprise scale-
The architecture behind internal LLM platforms and MCP servers

Model serving, GPU orchestration, and AI infrastructure-
AI-powered migrations across thousands of code repositories

Automated pull request risk analysis and compliance

Why code reviews still matter in the age of coding agents-
Measuring code complexity and engineering quality with AI

The role of Principal Engineers in driving technical strategy

Podcast-Folgen verschwinden. Feeds werden auf die letzten Episoden gekürzt, Hoster räumen alte Dateien ab, Formate wechseln den Anbieter und lassen ihr Archiv zurück. Mit „Mein Archiv“ sichert podcast.de die Folgen deiner Podcasts für dich — angefangen bei den ältesten, denn die sind zuerst weg.

  • Deine gesicherten Folgen bleiben hörbar, auch wenn das Original offline geht.
  • Auch Folgen, die im heutigen Feed gar nicht mehr stehen — podcast.de kennt sie noch.
