Mid-Level Software Engineer specializing in backend microservices and FinTech data pipelines

New York, NY4y exp

“Backend engineer at Goldman Sachs who built LLM-powered reconciliation/reporting services and high-throughput Kafka pipelines (8M+ events/day). Strong in production-grade Python/FastAPI microservices on Kubernetes with GitOps-style CI/CD, plus experience migrating legacy reporting/settlement services onto an internal Kubernetes platform using shadow deployments and gradual cutovers.”

“Built and owned Alight's AI-powered Search Summary feature end-to-end, using a RAG pipeline with OpenSearch and Bedrock, and drove a 20% increase in user feedback scores. Stands out for bringing rigorous production evaluation to LLM systems via live LLM-as-a-judge monitoring, and for experience with advanced agentic architectures, hybrid search, and reranking at scale.”

“Frontend-focused product engineer with hands-on experience designing and shipping real-time dashboards and alerting systems in regulated domains like banking and healthcare. Has led both UX/design and implementation work, combining React/TypeScript and Angular frontend expertise with Kafka-driven event architectures, performance optimization, and production monitoring.”

Mid-level AI Software Engineer specializing in Generative AI and healthcare automation

NC, USA5y exp

“Backend/AI engineer with 5+ years spanning ServiceNow, Cognizant, and GE Healthcare, where they built agentic AI and RAG systems for safety-critical medical device workflows. Particularly compelling for teams needing production LLM systems in regulated environments: they combine cloud deployment and evaluation rigor with HIPAA-aware privacy controls, explainability, and measurable business impact.”

“Full-stack engineer with fintech/trading domain experience (Fidelity) and startup SaaS CRM/billing platform work (Zoho), building real-time portfolio analytics and trade-processing systems. Strong in microservices, event-driven architectures (Kafka/WebSockets), and AWS/Kubernetes operations with measurable performance gains (~34–35% latency reduction) and maintainability improvements (~40% faster deployments). Targeting a founding full-stack engineer role in NYC with meaningful equity.”

“Infrastructure/operations engineer with deep IBM Power/AIX experience (AIX 7.x, VIOS, HMC/vHMC) managing ~15–25 LPARs across production and DR, including live DLPAR changes and structured performance troubleshooting. Also hands-on with PowerHA/HACMP incident recovery and failover testing, plus broader DevOps delivery building Jenkins CI/CD for containerized microservices and Terraform/Ansible IaC across AWS and Azure, and leading Solaris SPARC to x86 migration cutovers.”

“Data engineer at Capital One building AWS-based real-time and batch pipelines and backend data services for financial/fraud use cases. Has owned end-to-end pipelines processing millions of records/day, implemented dbt/Great Expectations quality gates, and tuned Redshift/Snowflake workloads (cutting query latency ~22–25% and reducing pipeline failures ~30–40%) while supporting 15+ downstream consumers.”

Mid-level Full-Stack Java Developer specializing in APIs and cloud microservices

Phoenix, AZ5y exp

“AI/LLM engineer who has shipped a production document-intelligence agent that automated internal support workflows using RAG, tool calling, and robust fallback controls. Stands out for combining hands-on architecture with measurable business impact: 85% faster query resolution, 35% lower LLM cost, 40% fewer LLM calls, and enough automation to avoid adding 2-3 support engineers.”

“Banking infrastructure engineer who owns large-scale IBM Power/AIX (AIX 7.x, VIOS, HMC/vHMC) environments with hundreds of LPARs and deep PowerHA/SAN recovery experience. Also builds modern cloud delivery platforms—Azure DevOps/Jenkins CI/CD and Terraform for AWS/Azure (EKS/AKS, networking, security)—bridging legacy mission-critical systems and cloud-native automation.”

“Full-stack engineer focused on high-throughput document/financial data platforms, building Angular/React front ends and Spring Boot microservices with Python/Flask services for heavy processing. Experienced in designing non-blocking, asynchronous workflows (Celery/RabbitMQ) and deploying containerized systems to AWS ECS with auto-scaling and CloudWatch monitoring.”

Senior Site Reliability Engineer specializing in cloud-native DevOps and Kubernetes

New City, NY13y exp

“IBM Power/AIX engineer with hands-on ownership of large AIX 7.1/7.2 environments (VIOS, HMC/vHMC) supporting enterprise middleware/back-end workloads. Demonstrated real production incident handling: identified CPU entitlement underprovisioning after a DLPAR change and restored performance via live CPU rebalancing, plus PowerHA failover execution and runbook/process hardening. Also builds secure CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins/GitLab/Azure DevOps with CyberArk) and Terraform IaC with drift management and controlled rollouts.”
