Vetted Amazon SQS Professionals

“Candidate brings an operator-to-founder profile with leadership experience in IT and Business Systems and a strong grasp of how ideas become venture-backable products. They speak fluently about startup evaluation criteria such as TAM, technical defensibility, speed to scale, and AI differentiation, and appear especially motivated by building solutions end-to-end in startup or venture studio environments.”

“Backend-focused engineer with deep Java/Spring expertise in fintech and SaaS integrations, including high-scale financial data pipelines and partner-facing APIs. Most notably re-platformed a 100M+ record ETL system to a custom concurrent Spring Batch architecture that cut failures dramatically and reduced infrastructure costs by over 90%, while also leading enterprise-grade event-driven integrations for customers like Bosch and Amazon.”

“Software engineering candidate who built a compiler-like Python tool to translate between Python code and UML-style diagrams (and back). Also has hands-on AWS experience building a distributed pub/sub system using services like Lambda, API Gateway, ELB, WAF, VPC, and DynamoDB, plus ML projects using Kaggle datasets (e.g., diabetes risk analysis).”

“Cloud-focused engineer experienced deploying and stabilizing complex production systems that span APIs, infrastructure, and automated workflows, with a strong observability and safe-release mindset (feature flags/canaries/rollbacks). Has hands-on, customer-facing incident leadership, including executing DR regional failover during an AWS us-east-1 outage to maintain service and reportedly save a client ~$10M.”

“Backend/full-stack engineer building complex internal platforms and customer-facing demos at the intersection of infrastructure and product. Shipped a no-code Product Lifecycle Manager for manufacturing (3 manufacturers, 1000+ evolving tests) using AWS S3/SQS ingestion and extensible Postgres (EAV+JSONB) with end-to-end traceability. Also built a FastAPI-based company data intelligence platform with Okta-secured RBAC and an LLM/MCP layer for ChatGPT-like analytics over enterprise data sources.”

“Entrepreneurial builder using Claude Code to rapidly prototype multiple product ideas and validate them with target users via social channels. Created and launched NotePulse (a lower-priced Notionlytics alternative), acquiring a dozen early users through Reddit-driven discovery and light paid experiments, with a strong emphasis on MVP scoping and product polish.”

“Infrastructure/Unix engineer with production PowerHA/HACMP operations experience (resource groups, service IPs, shared storage) who has executed planned failovers and recovered a real outage involving a SAN driver crash and manual Oracle recovery (restored service in ~15 minutes with zero data loss). Also supports cloud DevOps practices including CI/CD security scanning (SonarQube, Snyk), container registry/versioning, and Terraform Cloud-based IaC across AWS and GCP with PR/Jenkins-driven plan-and-apply workflows.”

“Data engineer/backend engineer who owns large-scale, real-time event pipelines on AWS end-to-end, including a petabyte-scale CDC ingestion flow from multiple Postgres DBs into Redshift. Re-architected a legacy DynamoDB+S3 approach into a Delta Lake + DuckDB/PyArrow-compatible design, improving performance dramatically (e.g., ~600s to ~10s for 1k records) and increasing reliability at high file volumes.”

Mid-level Python Developer specializing in AWS microservices and cloud automation

Jersey City, NJ4y exp

“Backend engineer focused on Python/FastAPI microservices running on Kubernetes (AWS EKS) with strong GitOps/CI/CD ownership (GitHub Actions + ArgoCD). Demonstrated measurable performance wins (p95 latency cut from >1s to <200ms) and production reliability work across Kafka/Redis streaming and cloud-to-on-prem migrations (RDS/S3 to Postgres/MinIO) using parallel validation and checksum-based consistency checks.”

Engineering Leader specializing in Digital Health, AI, and Cloud Platforms

Santa Clara, CA16y exp

“Senior Engineering Manager at Roche leading two Scrum teams building internally shared (“inner-sourced”) tools and libraries for a healthcare enterprise. Has led security/compliance-first architecture decisions (e.g., Python AI modules running inside a Java container) and front-end modularization (Angular monorepo to module federation), with a strong focus on developer experience via automated Swagger/OpenAPI documentation and robust testing/versioning practices.”

New York, NY10y exp

“Backend/data engineer with hands-on production experience building FastAPI services on AWS and implementing strong reliability/observability (CloudWatch, ELK, correlation IDs, alarms). Has delivered serverless + container solutions with IaC (CloudFormation/Terraform) and Jenkins CI/CD, and built AWS Glue/PySpark pipelines into S3/Redshift with schema-evolution and data-quality safeguards; demonstrated large-scale SQL tuning (45 min to 3 min on a 500M-row workload).”

Junior Software Engineer specializing in backend, cloud, and machine learning systems

Miami, FL3y exp

“Built Digipulse, a university project that ingested and clustered Bluesky tweet data at scale and used Gemini to generate near-real-time topic summaries, processing 1M+ tweets per day. Also brings Intel experience with Prometheus and Kubernetes, including production monitoring and incident troubleshooting.”

Ming Wang

Entry-level Software Engineer specializing in AI and FinTech

Hong Kong, Hong Kong1y exp

“Recent college graduate and software engineer who relies heavily on AI-assisted development, reporting that roughly 85% of code in a recent initiative was AI-generated and then manually reviewed. Has built customer-facing AI features including personalized recommendations and an internship chatbot tied to product advertising, with exposure to API communication, database checks, and conversation monitoring.”

“Backend engineer with hands-on experience building event-driven Java/Spring Boot and Kafka systems, plus AI-assisted document-classification workflows in enterprise environments. Stands out for a thoughtful, risk-aware approach to AI: uses it to accelerate delivery, but emphasizes validation layers, confidence thresholds, observability, and human review before AI can affect downstream business actions.”

“Senior engineering executive who has spent the last decade leading large-scale platform modernization while staying deeply hands-on in architecture, debugging, and code reviews. He has led 120+ person organizations, built cloud-native SaaS and identity platforms across regulated and enterprise domains, and ties engineering decisions directly to revenue outcomes, including contributing to Wind River's $1B+ milestone.”

“Engineering leader/player-coach who led a high-stakes 0→1 in-house usage-based billing/rating platform to replace a third-party system, saving millions and protecting 30M+ in revenue.
