Vetted ETL Professionals

“Backend/data engineer with strong authorization and compliance-domain experience: led a phased migration from a simplistic role model to modern RBAC on a Python serverless stack (Auth0 + AWS Lambda/API Gateway), coordinating changes across 5 repos with extensive manual and automated validation. Previously built and operated custom ETL pipelines (Airflow + Groovy/Java on Spark/YARN/Hadoop) to normalize messy customer email/chat/voice data for NLP-driven financial compliance indicators, including complex email journaling metadata enrichment and large-scale remediation reprocessing after production bugs.”

“Senior engineering/CTO-level leader with hands-on delivery of serverless, event-driven cloud governance platforms (deployed across multiple GE business units) and experience building adaptable usage-based billing at UserTesting. Has advised startups (including CaseText during YC) and supported fundraising and acquisition due diligence, including investor materials for a smart cooler custody management system presented to BARDA during Operation Warp Speed.”

Senior Data Engineer specializing in cloud big data pipelines and real-time streaming

Seattle, WA6y exp

“Amazon data engineer who built a real-time fraud detection pipeline for AWS Lambda, tackling multi-region telemetry quality issues and scaling stream processing for billions of daily requests. Strong in production-grade data/ML workflows on AWS (EMR, Glue, Kinesis, SageMaker) with hands-on entity resolution and anomaly detection.”

Mid-level Backend/Full-Stack Engineer specializing in AI and FinTech payments

Tempe, AZ4y exp

“Full-stack engineer who has owned an operational reporting/dashboard product end-to-end—building a React UI, designing/implementing FastAPI services, and deploying/operating on AWS. Demonstrates strong performance engineering (Postgres query/index tuning using EXPLAIN ANALYZE) with concrete impact (reports reduced from tens of seconds to a few seconds) and a reliability mindset across observability, migrations, and resilient third-party/ETL integrations.”

Mid-level Software Engineer specializing in cloud automation and data/ETL platforms

Arlington, Virginia6y exp

“Backend engineer with AWS multi-region production experience building APIs and workflow automation for data center/storage hardware operations (firmware orchestration, maintenance checks, ticketing, dashboards). Also shipped an internal AI chat tool that parses hardware runbooks and incorporates user feedback to retrain the model, and has a strong testing/quality discipline (95%+ coverage) plus database performance tuning via indexing and query monitoring.”

“Research Extern at Google DeepMind and former AWS Software Development Engineer Intern with a strong focus on practical, trustworthy AI engineering. Built a multi-agent RAG system for personalized news headline generation using a fine-tuned Flan-T5 model, parallel critic agents, FAISS retrieval, and style embeddings, while also leading a 3-person team on the project.”

“Full-stack engineer with a strong mix of real-time product engineering and applied AI experience. Built and deployed a production stock trading simulator on AWS and an LLM-based customer support agent with RAG/tooling, and also shipped a zero-to-one in-store detection feature at Meituan that improved CTR by 7% and conversion by 11%.”

“Full-stack engineer with startup-style experience building assessment and learning platforms using React, Node.js, Python, MongoDB, and PostgreSQL. Stands out for owning backend auto-grading and analytics features end to end, including concurrency-safe submission processing and database performance optimization for growing datasets.”

“Backend/data engineering candidate with Netflix experience designing and migrating analytics platforms from batch to real-time streaming (Kafka/Flink) across AWS and GCP. Delivered measurable improvements (40% lower data delay, 99.9% accuracy) using phased rollouts, automated data validation (Great Expectations), and strong observability (Prometheus/Grafana), and proactively hardened pipelines with idempotency to prevent duplicate Kafka processing.”

“Backend/distributed-systems engineer with Uber experience building real-time telemetry and safety signal pipelines. Strong in Kafka-based event-driven architectures, low-latency processing under peak load, and production reliability via monitoring, retries, and fallback logic; has Docker/Kubernetes and CI/CD deployment experience.”

“Built and shipped a production agentic RAG system for healthcare analysts that automated compliance/operations knowledge retrieval across PDFs, reports, and databases. Emphasizes production reliability (monitoring, retries, fallbacks, async queues), strong evaluation/iteration loops, and measurable impact (3–10s responses and ~98% top-k retrieval accuracy).”
