Mid-level Software Development Engineer in Test specializing in CI/CD and web automation

Los Angeles, CA4y exp

“QA automation engineer with ad-tech domain experience (Prebid.js wrapper-based services) who built an end-to-end Python automation framework using Playwright to validate wrapper settings, auction request/response, and analytics payloads. Uses Jenkins-driven CI reporting and feature-categorized regression runs to quickly isolate revenue-impacting defects and coordinate fast fixes with developers.”

“Candidate comes from SaaS and healthcare analytics rather than game development, but has strong end-to-end ownership experience building real-time, high-availability systems in Python/AWS. They highlight measurable impact across performance, throughput, uptime, and cost reduction, including queue optimization and predictive ICU utilization pipelines, and are looking to transfer that systems engineering foundation into Unity/gameplay work.”

“Product leader with a strong track record of modernizing legacy SaaS platforms, including an API-first rebuild that increased engagement by 40% and reduced support burden. Also led AI-powered workflow automation that delivered 80-90% time savings through human-in-the-loop design, showing a pragmatic, user-centered approach to applied AI.”

“Backend-focused engineer who built a resume processing and job application platform using Python/MongoDB/Streamlit, including OpenAI-powered skill/keyword extraction and recruiter-facing search/filtering. Has hands-on cloud deployment experience on AWS/Azure and executed an on-prem reservation portal migration to Azure using a phased trial-and-cutover approach; also automated CI/CD with Jenkins and GitHub Actions.”

“Built and deployed a production Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) platform in a healthcare setting to automate clinical documentation review and summarization, targeting near-real-time, explainable outputs. Emphasizes grounded generation to reduce hallucinations, latency optimizations (chunking/embedding reuse), and PHI-safe workflows with access controls, plus strong orchestration experience using Apache Airflow.”

“ML/NLP engineer currently working in NYC on a system that connects complex unstructured data sources to deliver personalized insights, using embeddings + vector DB retrieval and a RAG architecture (LangChain, Pinecone/OpenSearch). Strong focus on production constraints—especially low-latency retrieval—using FAISS/ANN, PCA, index partitioning, and Redis caching, plus PEFT fine-tuning (LoRA/QLoRA) and KPI/SLA-driven promotion to production.”

“Built a production RAG-based GenAI copilot backend at Aetna using Python/FastAPI, GPT-4, LangChain, and Azure AI Search, deployed on AKS with Prometheus/Grafana observability. Owned the system end-to-end (ingestion through deployment) and improved peak-time reliability by addressing vector search and embedding bottlenecks with Redis caching, index optimization, and async processing, plus added anti-hallucination guardrails via retrieval confidence thresholds.”

Mid-Level Software Engineer specializing in full-stack web and cloud systems

Remote, USA3y exp

“Full-stack engineer with strong data engineering and privacy-domain experience, having owned an automated Data Subject Rights (DSR) processing pipeline end-to-end across Azure SQL and GCP (GCS/BigQuery). Emphasizes production reliability via idempotency, validation checkpoints, structured logging/monitoring, and safe CI/CD-driven deployments, and has also built React+TypeScript + Node/Postgres web apps with scalable, maintainable architecture.”

Director-level Mobile Engineering Manager specializing in Generative AI and agentic mobile experiences

Remote13y exp

“iOS player-coach who led end-to-end development of real-time customer support chat and unified notification systems for T-Mobile’s iOS app using SwiftUI, Firebase, WebSockets, and Core Data (including offline handling). Drove measurable reliability/latency gains (~30%) through a major notification refactor and owned a high-severity push-notification incident from rollback through RCA and backward-compatible hotfix, while also scaling team process and people management.”

Mid-level AI/ML Engineer specializing in LLM agents, RAG, and enterprise ML systems

New York City, NY5y exp

“Built a production multi-agent recommendation/RAG system for internal data analysts to speed up weekly report creation by improving document discovery and automating report/SQL generation. Implemented LangGraph-based orchestration with deterministic agent routing, robust error handling (interrupt/resume), and metadata-driven semantic chunking for diverse PDF/document formats, plus monitoring for latency, throughput, and token/cost efficiency.”

“Candidate is not currently pursuing a startup and has no familiarity with the VC/accelerator ecosystem, but shows a thoughtful founder mindset centered on building from scratch, evaluating user impact and implementation feasibility, and avoiding financially reckless entrepreneurship.”

Mid-level Full-Stack Engineer specializing in cloud microservices and FinTech

Los Angeles, CA5y exp

“Software engineer with experience across enterprise (AIG, MSCI) and an early-stage startup (Job Map), owning production systems end-to-end. Built secure insurance microservices on Spring Boot with JWT/RBAC and AWS-based CI/CD/observability, plus Kafka streaming pipelines for financial data. Also shipped a GenAI personalization MVP using FastAPI and LLM APIs in a high-ambiguity startup environment.”

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

New York, USA4y exp

“Internship experience shipping production AI systems: built an end-to-end RAG platform (Python/FastAPI + LangChain/LangGraph + vector search) to answer support questions from unstructured internal docs, with a strong focus on hallucination prevention through confidence gating and rigorous offline/online evaluation. Also delivered an AI-driven personalization/analytics feature using an unsupervised clustering pipeline, iterating with PMs to align statistically strong clusters with actionable business segmentation.”

Mid-level Software Developer specializing in backend microservices and cloud platforms

Irving, TX6y exp

“Full-stack product engineer with strong React and TypeScript depth who has owned dashboard features end-to-end, from UI architecture and rendering optimization through Spring Boot APIs and database query tuning. Particularly compelling for startup or high-growth teams: they’ve shipped 0→1 internal operations platforms, prioritized MVP workflows effectively, and iterated post-launch using user feedback, logs, and usage metrics.”

“Built end-to-end financial workflow platforms at Citi spanning React frontends, Spring Boot microservices, Kafka, Redis, and Oracle. Particularly compelling for teams needing someone who can modernize legacy systems into real-time architectures—the candidate cites a 48x throughput improvement from a batch-to-Kafka modernization effort.”

“Seasoned enterprise program/project leader with 12+ years delivering complex technology initiatives in highly regulated federal, healthcare, and financial services environments. Stands out for managing portfolios of 6-7 concurrent modernization and operational transformation efforts, with strong governance, executive communication, and cross-functional coordination across engineering, security, and operations.”
