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

San Francisco, CA2y exp

“Backend engineer at Electric Hydrogen who built a serverless device-log ingestion and processing platform in Python/Flask, scaling throughput (4x peak ingestion) while keeping sub-300ms API latency. Strong in Postgres/SQLAlchemy performance (partitioning, materialized views) and production ML integration (ONNX model served via FastAPI microservice with async batch inference, Redis feature caching, and drift monitoring via S3/Lambda). Experienced designing secure multi-tenant systems with schema-per-tenant isolation and KMS-backed encryption.”

“Backend/infra-focused engineer with experience spanning Go-based MCP servers for an AI-assisted Kubernetes on-call diagnosis chatbot and a Python/Flask PagerDuty automation integration. Previously at Tesla, optimized high-volume battery test data in PostgreSQL using JSONB, partitioning, and a timestamp normalization pipeline; also built PyTorch PINN training workflows and achieved a 20x speedup via batch vectorization.”

Intern Software Engineer specializing in backend and distributed systems

San Jose, CA1y exp

“Backend engineer with experience at ByteDance (TikTok monetization) and Baidu, plus a personal real-time course booking/tracking platform built with FastAPI, Postgres, and Redis. Demonstrates strong concurrency and reliability engineering (Redis distributed locks with TTL extension, idempotent event processing) and practical DevOps skills (Kubernetes/Helm, GitLab CI/CD, Docker build-time optimization).”

“Full-stack engineer with Uber experience building finance/billing reconciliation systems: shipped and owned an internal operations dashboard (Next.js App Router/TypeScript) that cut investigation time from hours to minutes and improved load time from ~6–7s to <2s. Deep in Postgres modeling and performance (sub-200ms optimized queries) plus durable event-driven workflow orchestration with idempotency, retries/backoff, DLQs, and reconciliation jobs; also has seed-to-Series C startup experience emphasizing end-to-end ownership.”

Mid Software Engineer specializing in backend systems and AI-enabled platforms

California, USA4y exp

“Full-stack engineer with hands-on ownership of a support ticket intelligence platform, spanning React/TypeScript frontend work and backend API, PostgreSQL, Redis, and Docker-based deployment. They stand out for driving practical architecture and performance improvements in production, including moving heavy processing async and cutting response times from about 300ms to 150ms while improving reliability.”

Junior Software Engineer specializing in full-stack and ML/NLP systems

New York City, NY2y exp

“Entry-level full-stack engineer with internship experience at Amazon (Appstore IAP flow + uninstall recommendation workflow) and a health-tech startup (OneVector) where they built a DSUR reporting workflow end-to-end, including document generation, S3-backed versioning/metadata, and secure preview/download. Demonstrates strong production debugging and reliability mindset (instrumentation, deterministic retrieval, idempotent writes) and focuses on UX/performance in high-stakes user flows.”

“Early-career software engineer who owns revenue-critical invoice processing and internal ops tooling end-to-end. Has built TypeScript/React systems backed by MongoDB and Temporal, and designed scalable SQS-based onboarding workflows with FIFO/DLQ monitoring. Notably redesigned an Authzed SpiceDB authorization model, shrinking a 500+ line schema to ~20 lines while meeting sub-100ms p95 latency.”

“Built and shipped production AI systems spanning customer support automation at Uber, privacy-preserving federated health modeling on iOS, and an open-source semantic search layer for Postgres. Stands out for combining strong LLM/product instincts with rigorous eval design, measurable production impact, and zero-to-one execution across backend, mobile, and developer infrastructure.”

“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.”

“Engineer with experience at Flexport and Microsoft, focused on full-stack and backend platform work in complex workflow and permissions-heavy systems. They’ve shipped customer-facing Next.js/GraphQL features, improved PostgreSQL-backed authorization performance, and driven an event-driven SQS architecture change that improved throughput by ~20% and sped up new workflow development by ~30%.”
