Vetted AWS Glue Professionals

“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.”

“AWS-focused Python backend/data engineer who builds production analytics APIs and ETL pipelines using API Gateway, Lambda, Step Functions, ECS, Glue, S3, and RDS. Strong in operational reliability and performance tuning (including SQL indexing/partitioning) and has modernized legacy SAS statistical processing into validated Python services with phased rollouts and stakeholder sign-off.”

“Repeat founder/CTO with hands-on experience raising capital from friends and family, angels, corporate sources, federal grants, private equity, and venture capital. Built a startup in a software business incubator, later sold the company, and went on to serve as an Engineering Manager at the acquirer inside the Plug and Play accelerator ecosystem.”

“ML/NLP engineer focused on large-scale data linking for e-commerce-style catalogs and customer records, combining transformer embeddings (BERT/Sentence-BERT), NER, and FAISS-based vector search. Has delivered measurable lifts (e.g., +30% matching accuracy, Precision@10 62%→84%) and built production-grade, scalable pipelines in Airflow/PySpark with strong data quality and schema-drift handling.”

“AI/LLM practitioner who has deployed production chatbots across e-commerce, HRMS, and real estate, focusing on retrieval-first workflows for factual tasks like product and property search. Optimized intent understanding and significantly improved latency by using lightweight embeddings and tuning the inference pipeline on Groq (Llama 3.3), while applying modular orchestration and measurable production evaluation.”

Mid-level AI/ML Engineer specializing in LLMs, NLP, and AWS MLOps

New York, US3y exp

“Recent master’s graduate in robotics with applied experience across reinforcement learning and ROS 2 autonomy stacks. Built an RL-based drone vertiport traffic controller (PPO) focused on reward design and simulation integration, and has hands-on navigation work in ROS 2 including LiDAR preprocessing, SLAM/path planning, and stabilizing TurtleBot3 wall-following. Also brings deployment experience containerizing robotics nodes and scaling them with Kubernetes on AWS.”

Mid-Level Frontend Engineer specializing in legal data platforms

5y exp

“Built and operated end-to-end legal-document data pipelines fed by hundreds of scraper sources, emphasizing data quality validation, reliability (CloudWatch monitoring/alerting, retries, backfills), and serving enriched legal data via serverless AWS APIs (Lambda/API Gateway). Experienced in keeping API contracts stable with additive versioning practices and shipping MVPs quickly with CI/CD and observability in place.”

“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.”

“Built and deployed a production LLM-powered demand and churn forecasting system for an e-commerce client, combining open-source LLMs (LLaMA/Mistral) and Sentence-BERT embeddings to generate business-friendly explanations of forecast drivers. Strong focus on data quality and model trust (validation, baselines, segmented monitoring) and production reliability via Airflow-orchestrated pipelines with readiness checks, retries, and ongoing drift/A-B testing.”
