Vetted Datadog Professionals

“Frontend engineer who led the end-to-end UI for an internal employee catalog tool at Genetec, building React/TypeScript dashboards with complex search filters. Emphasizes tight product-owner feedback loops (weekly demos), Figma-based design alignment, and disciplined delivery practices using CI/CD, automated tests, and version tagging for rollouts/reverts.”

“SDET focused on end-to-end quality for web applications, owning UI/API/regression automation from framework design through CI/CD integration. Notably prevented a production payment/checkout incident by adding API validations that caught incorrect tax calculations (rounding logic) during CI before release, and has a track record of stabilizing flaky Cypress tests via robust selector and wait strategies.”

“Cloud/DevOps engineer (6+ years) with healthcare domain experience who has owned production AWS systems end-to-end—building real-time data pipelines and an admission forecasting ML service delivered via API and Tableau. Led EMR modernization from on-prem/VMs to containerized AWS using phased migration and blue-green deployments, achieving ~99.5% uptime while cutting on-prem footprint ~30% and driving major automation gains (up to ~90% manual work reduction).”

“Software engineer who built and launched an end-to-end Ad Scheduler that automated campaign creation across Google Ads and Meta using Azure Functions/Service Bus, PostgreSQL, and a React frontend—reducing manual marketing ops work. Also shipped a production internal RAG chatbot leveraging a data warehouse + Cube semantic layer, Gemini embeddings, vector search, and Claude, with Langfuse tracing and brand-based access controls; work was cut short due to layoffs.”

“Built and shipped a production LLM-powered RAG system at Upstart enabling natural-language search across 50k+ scattered internal technical docs. Delivered sub-300ms p95 latency for ~50 active users with strong hallucination safeguards (retrieval-first, thresholds, citations) plus robust testing/monitoring and cost controls (prompt caching cutting API spend ~20%).”

“Backend-focused Python engineer who owned and deployed EcoHero, a recycling guidance app using FastAPI + Firebase with barcode lookup, ZIP-code-based state rules, and user history tracking backed by 50 state datasets. Has hands-on Kubernetes + Docker experience and uses GitHub Actions and GitOps-style PR workflows for consistent deployments, plus event-driven async processing patterns with idempotency and retries.”

“Software engineer with deep healthcare claims domain experience who has owned customer-facing portals end-to-end (Java/Spring Boot + React/TypeScript) and improved usability/performance based on real user feedback. Built microservices using REST and RabbitMQ with strong observability (Splunk/cloud metrics), and delivered an internal claims investigation dashboard that streamlined operations through centralized data, search, and filtering.”

“QA automation engineer who owned an end-to-end automated regression suite for a PlayStation digital store flow (login through checkout/payment), building a hybrid POM/data-driven framework from scratch with Selenium/TestNG/Cucumber and also using Playwright/TypeScript and Cypress. Integrated the suite into Jenkins CI/CD with nightly runs and reporting, improved coverage (happy + negative paths), and reduced release risk by catching critical issues like session timeout and transaction/payment defects before production.”

“IBM Power/AIX infrastructure engineer who has owned a large AIX 7.x/VIOS/HMC estate (hundreds of LPARs), handling provisioning, patching, tuning, and incident response. Demonstrated high-availability and recovery leadership with PowerHA failovers and SAN-path RCA/resiliency improvements, plus successful AIX 7.1→7.3 migrations with minimal downtime/no data loss. Also brings modern DevOps/IaC experience (Jenkins + Vault, Docker/Kubernetes, Terraform on Azure) with a focus on secure, repeatable deployments and drift control.”

“Backend engineer currently building an AWS Lambda/FastAPI inventory recommendation system using a LangChain + GPT-4 RAG pipeline and MongoDB vector search; drove major cost optimization via Redis caching (60% reduction) while sustaining 10k+ daily requests under 2s latency. Previously deployed Node.js microservices on AWS OpenShift with Jenkins/Helm at UnitedHealth Group and led a zero-downtime monolith-to-microservices migration at Verizon, including RabbitMQ-based real-time messaging with DLQs and idempotency.”

“AI/LLM engineer with production experience in legal tech: built a GPT-4 + LangChain RAG summarization system at Govpanel that reduced legal case-file review time by 50%+. Previously at LexisNexis, orchestrated end-to-end Airflow data/AI pipelines processing 5M+ legal documents daily, improving ETL runtime by 35% with robust validation, monitoring, and SLAs.”

“Full-stack/backend engineer with deep insurance claims domain experience who built and operated a microservices + ETL platform (Java/Spring Boot + Python + Kafka/Databricks) processing 1M+ daily transactions. Combines production-grade reliability (99.7% uptime, zero-downtime blue/green releases, strong observability) with customer-facing UI delivery (AngularJS/React+TS dashboards and a hackathon-winning research chatbot).”

“Robotics software engineer with hands-on ROS 2 experience building real-time perception/control infrastructure and multi-sensor fusion (radar/ultrasonic + GNSS/IMU) with deterministic latency and safety fallbacks. Debugged rover navigation drift via rosbag replay and timing analysis, improving state estimation by gating GNSS and switching to SLAM when GPS degraded. Also brings strong distributed-systems and build/CI tooling experience (gRPC/Protobuf, Docker, Bazel cross-compilation for ARM/RISC-V, GitHub Actions).”

“Infrastructure engineer with hands-on ownership of a scaled IBM Power/AIX estate (AIX 7.x, VIOS, HMC; 2 frames/20+ LPARs) supporting critical middleware and database workloads, including live DLPAR changes and VIOS/SAN outage recovery. Also brings modern DevOps/IaC experience building GitHub Actions pipelines for Docker/Kubernetes deployments and provisioning AWS environments with Terraform (EKS/RDS/VPC/IAM) using modular, review-driven workflows.”
