Senior DevOps Engineer specializing in AWS cloud infrastructure and CI/CD automation

Atlanta, GA10y exp

“AWS platform/infra engineer with hands-on ownership of EKS cluster lifecycle (upgrades, node scaling, networking/ingress, and EBS-backed stateful storage) and reliability validation using Datadog plus CI/CD smoke tests. Also supported on-prem VMware environments and operated a hybrid on-prem-to-AWS setup over site-to-site VPN, including incident response and implementing change-controlled firewall processes and proactive connectivity health checks.”

“Backend/data engineer with healthcare claims expertise who has owned production data pipelines end-to-end, including ingestion, validation, transformation, and API serving. Stands out for improving data quality by 30%, building reliable integrations with strong auditability, and setting up pragmatic cloud deployment and observability in ambiguous early-stage environments.”

“Backend/infrastructure-focused engineer building AI-agent products for small businesses, including a customer-service agent platform with intent routing, RAG over Pinecone, and external booking API integration. Has shipped Python/FastAPI services with JWT auth, versioned APIs, Docker deployments to AWS EC2 via GitHub Actions, and production monitoring with Prometheus/Grafana.”

“Full-stack engineer with hands-on experience building and shipping production web products across AI, frontend, backend, and DevOps. Notably built an end-to-end resume-job matching platform during an internship that processed 1000+ resumes/day and cut recruiter screening effort by 60%, and later shipped an internal operations dashboard at CHS with measurable performance gains.”

Entry-Level Machine Learning & Cloud Engineer specializing in AI data pipelines

Boston, MA

“Early-career cloud/appsec-focused engineer with hands-on experience building secure, observable microservice systems on AWS (IAM least privilege, KMS encryption, Secrets Manager, CloudWatch, ALB) and troubleshooting autoscaling-related 500s down to connection pooling issues. Also deployed heavy ML workloads on Kubernetes by decomposing diffusion/transformer services, using workload identity to eliminate static credentials, and maintaining GitOps-style deployment audit trails.”

“Backend/data engineer with hands-on production experience across FastAPI microservices and AWS (Lambda, ECS, SQS, RDS, S3), plus Glue/Athena analytics pipelines. Demonstrates strong reliability and operations focus (timeouts/retries, centralized errors, CloudWatch monitoring) and measurable SQL optimization impact (25s to under 2s). Seeking fully remote senior developer role at ~$150k base.”

“Backend/data engineer with hands-on AWS data platform work (S3 + Glue + Lambda/Step Functions) and Kubernetes GitOps delivery (Argo CD + GitHub Actions). Has led ingestion and transformation of semi-structured event data, built internal APIs for ETL operations/monitoring, and implemented Kafka-based near-real-time streaming with enrichment and Elasticsearch for search/analytics, plus experience supporting an on-prem ERP migration to AWS.”
