Vetted Auto Scaling Professionals

“Engineering leader who delivered a Magento-to-Shopify rebuild ahead of schedule while maintaining 100% team retention over 4 years at Hydrobuilder Holdings. Also built and ran a concert-listing platform (TourVolume) in production for 12+ years (Webby Honorable Mention) and later open-sourced the full codebase. Deep experience in auth/API platforms on AWS, including moving critical auth services from Lambda to ECS to eliminate cold-start latency.”

“Backend/Node.js-focused engineer who improved a widely used shared config/logging utility library by fixing a real-world async race condition (single disk read under concurrency) and adding stronger validation/testing, resulting in more deterministic services and faster startup/build/CI times. Also builds internal platform automation spanning Python/Go/TypeScript with strong documentation practices and security-conscious customer onboarding (e.g., sensitive Kubernetes clusters, HashiCorp Vault access issues).”

“AWS Cloud DevOps Engineer focused on production Linux environments, building secure CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins/GitHub) to deploy Dockerized services to AWS ECS and automating infrastructure with Terraform/CloudFormation. Strong in operational troubleshooting and scaling (CloudWatch-driven performance remediation, Auto Scaling/ELB, multi-AZ HA patterns), but explicitly does not have IBM Power/AIX or PowerHA/HACMP experience.”

“Backend/data engineer with strong AWS production experience spanning serverless APIs and containerized workers (Lambda, API Gateway, ECS) plus data pipelines (Glue, S3, Athena/Redshift). Has modernized legacy SAS/cron batch systems into Python/AWS with parallel-run parity validation and low-risk cutovers, and has owned ETL incidents end-to-end (CloudWatch detection, backfills, and preventative controls). Targeting $130k–$150k base and strongly prefers remote, with occasional Bethesda onsite acceptable.”

“Software engineer/product-minded builder who owns customer-facing products end-to-end and ships in 1–2 week increments using CI/CD, automated testing, and feature flags. Built a TypeScript/React/Node platform that cut page load times by 40% and scaled to 3x concurrent users, and designed RabbitMQ-based microservices with Prometheus/Grafana monitoring. Also delivered an internal real-time support analytics dashboard that reduced response times by 30%.”

“Data engineer with ~4 years of experience building Python-based data ingestion/processing services and real-time streaming pipelines (Kafka/PubSub + Spark Structured Streaming). Has deployed containerized data applications on Kubernetes with GitLab CI/Jenkins pipelines and applied GitOps to cut deployment time ~40% while reducing config drift. Also supported a legacy on-prem data warehouse/backend migration to GCP using phased migration and parallel validation to meet strict reliability/SLA needs.”

“Cloud/SRE-style engineer at TDS supporting revenue-critical transportation SaaS platforms on AWS/GCP with Kubernetes. Has hands-on experience leading high-impact production work including DDoS mitigation, zero-downtime MSSQL→PostgreSQL migration using CDC, and building secure GitHub Actions + ArgoCD delivery pipelines and Terraform-based GKE infrastructure.”

“Backend engineer who built and evolved a startup data-processing backend (Express.js/MySQL) handling millions of user data points, with a microservices pipeline integrating multiple social media APIs. Emphasizes reliability and security through comprehensive testing, robust error/retry handling for sequential pagination constraints, and tight IAM/JWT/OAuth-based access controls.”

“DevSecOps/AWS infrastructure engineer at Madison Logic who owns a 15-account AWS footprint and treats nearly all AWS resources as code (Terraform/CloudFormation). Led a CI/CD platform migration (Bitbucket → GitLab + GitHub Actions) supporting WordPress and containerized microservices, improving release frequency to weekly/daily, and has hands-on production incident response experience on ECS Fargate using Datadog with fast rollback via immutable ECR tags and task definition revisions.”

“Full-stack engineer with healthcare/bioinformatics experience who built a real-time genomic data analysis and 2D visualization feature (React/TypeScript + D3, FastAPI) at University of Utah Health, deploying on AWS ECS Fargate with monitoring and measuring engagement via Google Analytics. Also built AWS Lambda-based ETL pipelines for lab data ingestion using pandas/NumPy with reliability patterns (idempotency, retries, CloudWatch alerting) and drove maintainability improvements through shared component libraries and React hooks.”

“Backend-focused TypeScript/Node.js engineer who owned a production microservice for transactional workflows in a React + microservices platform, integrating REST and Kafka event processing. Emphasizes operability and correctness (idempotency keys, exponential backoff retries, DLQs, centralized logging/metrics/alerts) plus strong API DX via versioning and Swagger/OpenAPI with improved error contracts based on developer feedback.”

“Full-stack engineer with strong production ownership across React/TypeScript, Node.js, and AWS (EC2/ECS/RDS/CloudWatch), including CI/CD, observability, and incident response. Delivered a secure RBAC workflow module end-to-end and achieved measurable gains (~30–40% latency reduction, ~50% error reduction) that lowered infra/ops costs. Comfortable in high-ambiguity startup environments—shipped a payment module within 2 days of joining with no documentation.”
