“Backend/data engineer who has maintained high-traffic FastAPI microservices and delivered a hybrid AWS serverless+containers platform using Terraform and GitHub Actions, with secrets managed via Secrets Manager/SSM. Also led modernization of a mission-critical 10,000+ line SAS financial reporting engine into Python microservices and built AWS Glue ETL pipelines feeding a centralized data lake.”

“ML/NLP practitioner who built a retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) system for large financial and operational document sets using Sentence-Transformers (all-mpnet-base-v2) and a vector DB (e.g., Pinecone), with a strong focus on retrieval evaluation and chunking strategy optimization. Experienced in entity resolution (rules + embedding similarity with type-specific thresholds) and in productionizing scalable Python data workflows using Airflow/Dagster and Spark.”

“Cloud/DevOps engineer (6+ years) with healthcare domain experience who has owned production AWS systems end-to-end—building real-time data pipelines and an admission forecasting ML service delivered via API and Tableau. Led EMR modernization from on-prem/VMs to containerized AWS using phased migration and blue-green deployments, achieving ~99.5% uptime while cutting on-prem footprint ~30% and driving major automation gains (up to ~90% manual work reduction).”

Houston, TX5y exp

“Software engineer/product builder who has owned an agentic affiliate lead-gen platform end-to-end (Django + React/TypeScript) and deployed it on Kubernetes in anticipation of 10x user growth from ~5K DAUs. Also has healthcare claims microservices experience using Kafka, including hands-on performance tuning to address consumer lag and broker pressure, and built an internal downtime alerting tool adopted across the organization.”

“Data-focused engineer who has built near real-time trending news sentiment pipelines end-to-end (API/web ingestion, validation, transformations, and dashboard serving) and implemented reliability patterns like retries with exponential backoff and backfills. Also shipped Java/Spring Boot REST APIs backed by SQL with indexing/pagination, and stood up an early-stage QR-based attendance MVP using Firebase with iterative hardening via logging and validation.”

Denver, CO17y exp

“Senior backend-leaning engineer with experience spanning an 8-person early-stage startup and production microservices environments. They helped deliver an MVP for a fintech/charitable donations product by building a resilient abstraction API across multiple rewards vendors, and more recently maintained Go services at scale with Kubernetes autoscaling for workloads reaching roughly 1 million requests per day.”

“Backend/data platform engineer who has built and operated a cloud-native media ingestion/processing platform in Python (Django/DRF, FastAPI) with Kafka, Postgres, and Redis, emphasizing multi-tenant security and reliability. Delivered AWS production systems combining EKS and Lambda with Terraform + GitHub Actions/Helm, and built Glue-based ETL pipelines with strong schema-evolution and data-quality practices; also modernized SAS analytics into Python on AWS. Seeking fully remote roles with a $120K–$140K base range.”

“Full-stack engineer who owned enterprise workflow platforms end-to-end at Northern Trust and Elevance Health—building NestJS/Java Spring Boot APIs, React UIs, and cloud deployments on GCP Cloud Run. Strong in data-heavy applications (hundreds of thousands of records) with proven production performance tuning (indexing/query rewrites, Cloud Run concurrency/min instances) and secure RBAC via Azure AD.”

Brooklyn, NY6y exp

“Backend engineer with experience in highly regulated and high-stakes systems, including an airline crew messaging platform requiring near-zero-error real-time operations and a HIPAA-compliant mental health application built from an early-stage concept. They also show strong operational maturity, having owned a GoDaddy production incident through resolution and then led deployment pipeline improvements that reduced build failures by 40% and doubled deployment frequency.”

“Full-stack engineer with production experience across React/TypeScript, Node/Express, and Java/Spring Boot, operating containerized systems on AWS (EKS/ECS/EC2/RDS/S3) with strong observability (CloudWatch/Grafana). Notable for fixing a real checkout/order-placement failure end-to-end by adding frontend submission guards and backend idempotency with Redis + Kafka deduplication, then validating impact via technical metrics and business KPIs. Has also built Kafka-based integrations/pipelines with robust retry/backfill/reconciliation patterns in retail and banking contexts.”
