Irina Yatsenko is a Senior Software Engineer in Redmond currently contributing to MongoDB’s Query Execution team, bringing deep systems and runtime expertise across databases, JavaScript engines and quantum runtimes. At Microsoft she worked on OneNote and large-scale query optimizers (SCOPE, U-SQL), transitioned between Chakra and V8 runtime work, and helped implement QIR and the full-state simulator in the open-source Q# runtime. She has a strong record of modernizing legacy codebases, improving testability and debuggability, and shipping customer-critical fixes under tight timelines while driving accessibility and telemetry initiatives. A mathematician (MSc, magna cum laude, Moscow State University), she pairs rigorous problem-solving with hands-on low-level implementation skills. Her career arc from localization and test engineering to core runtime and query execution highlights unusual versatility across QA, product features, and deep systems engineering.
