Vetted Cloud Infrastructure Professionals

“Built and shipped a production agentic LLM tool that helps internal teams update technical product whitepapers using plain-language edit requests, with strong guardrails (citations, verification, refusal/clarify flows) to reduce hallucinations and maintain compliance. Experienced taking LLM workflows from rapid LangChain prototypes to more predictable, debuggable LangGraph agent graphs, and orchestrating end-to-end ingestion/embedding/indexing/eval/deploy pipelines with Kubeflow.”

“Senior engineering leader with experience at ActiveProspect, Broadlume, and Zume, leading multidisciplinary orgs across growth and M&A while standardizing delivery, architecture, and quality practices. Stands out for combining executive-level roadmap, budget, and compliance ownership with hands-on prototyping and architectural intervention on mission-critical platforms, including AI-enabled testing and quality systems.”

Executive Engineering & Product Leader specializing in Cloud/SaaS observability and security

San Jose, CA31y exp

“Product/technology leader with deep security and cloud infrastructure expertise who drove a major shift from hardware-based networking/security appliances to cloud-native capabilities, growing cloud revenue from $0 to $400M in 4.5 years. Led an innovative eBPF-based approach (“precryption”) to enable lightweight cloud TLS interception/decryption, and has hands-on coding interest (recent Rust work on a personal cybersecurity identity/trust platform).”

“Candidate is a hands-on engineer using AI as a controlled coding partner rather than an autonomous decision-maker. They have practical experience designing and leading structured multi-agent coding pipelines with specialized roles for code generation, review, and test coverage, and show strong judgment around reliability through schemas, guardrails, reviewer gates, and manual validation.”

Senior AI Engineer specializing in LLM applications and full-stack systems

San Francisco, CA8y exp

“Built and owned a production LLM/RAG customer support assistant end-to-end, from prototype through deployment, monitoring, and iteration. Their work automated roughly 40% of common support queries and cut response times by about 30%, while also creating reusable Python inference services that improved consistency and team velocity.”

“Graphics software engineer with academic robotics/HRI experience at Oregon State University under Dr. Heather Knight, leading a ROS+Python physical robot and Unity/C# VR system to study how motion/texture/collisions are perceived in VR (2 papers + thesis). Also built ROS-based Wizard-of-Oz TurtleBot study systems and multi-robot coordination experiments, plus industry experience with Docker/Kubeflow ML tooling and Azure DevOps CI/CD automation.”

Mid-level AI/ML Engineer specializing in LLM infrastructure, RAG, and agentic systems

New York City, NY3y exp

“Stripe engineer who owned and unified multiple team RAG systems into a shared production platform used by 200+ internal operators, deployed on EKS with Kafka ingestion and hybrid retrieval. Drove measurable business outcomes including <400ms latency, ~35% inference cost reduction, ~25% accuracy lift via fine-tuning, and real-time auto-approval of 80%+ merchant compliance applications through strong observability and reliability patterns.”

“Backend/platform engineer with deep AWS experience who built a high-reliability ingestion platform (Lambda + Step Functions + DynamoDB) that became the single source of truth for training/qualification certification data across an AU region, handling high-volume async updates with strong consistency controls. Also led a major API migration from Lambda to ECS/Fargate to eliminate cold starts and increase throughput, and has hands-on EKS/Kubernetes operations plus Kafka partitioning/ordering expertise.”

“Built and owned end-to-end deployment and AI support workflows spanning CI/CD, Kubernetes, Terraform, and LLM/RAG systems. Stands out for combining DevOps delivery with production AI operations, including secure tool-calling, incident debugging, retrieval quality controls, and validation-first document ingestion for messy real-world inputs.”

“Growth-stage full-stack engineer with recent hands-on Go work in a compliance-focused B2B SaaS environment and deep prior experience in React/TypeScript, Node, PostgreSQL, and Elasticsearch at Tend. Stands out for owning cross-stack performance, search, and reliability improvements in fast-moving teams, including reducing latency, improving search efficiency, and designing integrations for regulated operational workflows.”

“Senior SaaS go-to-market and strategy leader with 15-20 years of experience spanning sales, operations, corporate development, and product strategy. Most recently led ERP-focused strategy at Tricentis and previously ran global corporate development operations at Oracle, with a standout result of growing an Oracle line of business 10% ARR YoY against 4% company growth.”
