Mid-level Full-Stack Engineer specializing in FinTech and AI platforms

New York, NY4y exp

“Full-stack engineer with 3 years of AI/ML experience who has shipped production LLM workflows, including a Bloomberg triage dashboard that cut manual processing by 35%. Combines React/TypeScript product sense with AWS/Spring/Lambda backend architecture and unusually strong practical judgment around evals, trust, retrieval, latency, and UX for real-world AI systems.”

“Robotics ML/software engineer focused on Vision-Language-Action control for 7-DoF robots, replacing tokenized action decoding with continuous regression heads (including a logit-weighted expectation approach) to improve stability and real-time behavior. Strong in ROS1/ROS2 systems integration and debugging closed-loop manipulation issues via latency instrumentation, QoS-aware distributed messaging, and sim-to-real validation using Gazebo/Unity, Docker, and CI pipelines.”

“Backend-focused engineer building customer support/order-tracking platforms with Java 17/Spring Boot microservices and a React/TypeScript frontend. Deep experience running event-driven systems on Kubernetes (Kafka, Redis, MySQL) with strong observability (Prometheus/Grafana/Splunk), SLOs, and safe deployment practices (feature flags, canaries). Also built an internal monitoring/debugging dashboard that consolidated metrics and logs for on-call engineers and was adopted by other teams to speed incident response.”

“Cloud-focused DevOps/Infrastructure engineer with hands-on AWS high availability, migration cutovers, and production automation. Built Jenkins-based CI/CD pipelines (Git, SonarQube, Artifactory) and manages Terraform IaC with S3/DynamoDB remote state, PR-based reviews, and staged environment promotion; targets $160k base. No direct IBM Power/AIX/PowerHA experience.”

Junior Software Engineer specializing in robotics and real-time distributed systems

Mountain View, CA2y exp

“Robotics software engineer focused on low-compute navigation/SLAM: built a 6-DOF SLAM validation pipeline (IMU + 2D LiDAR + ultrasonic) producing ~1cm OctoMap accuracy and deployed it on an Intel Atom by optimizing particle-filter SLAM with a greedy max-likelihood update. Deep ROS 2 experience (executors, composable/lifecycle nodes, QoS, timestamping) plus simulation and deployment tooling (Gazebo C++ plugins, Docker, CI/CD, ROS 2 build farm) and drone navigation work with MAVROS/PX4.”

“Built a production-grade agentic document intake system that converts PDFs into structured records with strict schema validation, confidence-based retries, and a human review UI. Demonstrates strong practical judgment around making LLM systems reliable in enterprise workflows, including custom orchestration, observability, and continuous evals rather than relying on off-the-shelf abstractions.”

“Full-stack/product-minded engineer with recent experience in both an early-stage AI startup and a B2B payments marketplace. Stands out for building a pgvector-based semantic cache that reduced LLM latency by 35% and for shipping audit-heavy payment infrastructure with Stripe/Plaid, idempotent webhook handling, and major reconciliation query optimizations.”

“Backend/AI engineer at Intuit who built a production AI-powered case assistant for support agents (FastAPI on AWS EKS) combining Postgres case data, OpenSearch retrieval with embedding reranking, and internal LLMs. Improved peak-season reliability by diagnosing P95/P99 timeout spikes and cutting P95 latency from ~800ms to <400ms via composite indexing, keyset pagination, connection pool tuning, and caching, while adding grounded-generation guardrails (evidence packs, confidence thresholds, fallbacks, human-in-the-loop).”

“FinTech/AI engineer who has shipped an end-to-end discrepancy-detection product for financial managers using Next.js, FastAPI/GraphQL, Pinecone, and AWS (with dev/staging/prod, observability, A/B testing, and documentation). Also built an AI-native “AI Genesis” system with agentic cyclic workflows, routing, and tool use, and has experience modernizing legacy systems via the strangler fig pattern while coordinating with senior stakeholders on a 5G autonomous simulation platform.”

Intern Software Engineer specializing in distributed systems and backend infrastructure

Beijing, China0y exp

“Backend engineer with deep experience building event-driven logistics systems (orders, warehouse execution, real-time delivery tracking) using Spring Boot/PostgreSQL/Redis and strong observability (Prometheus/Grafana). Led a zero-downtime migration from monolithic MySQL to a sharded architecture for ~2M users with dual-write, checksum validation, and fast auto-rollback, and has strong security expertise including PostgreSQL RLS for multi-tenant SaaS and robust OAuth/JWT handling.”

“ML engineer with production experience across healthcare and fraud domains, including end-to-end ownership of a telecare patient deterioration system at Oracle Health and a GPT-4/RAG fraud reporting solution at Cognizant. Stands out for combining scalable data/ML infrastructure, clinical NLP, and GenAI delivery with measurable gains in model quality and workflow efficiency.”

“Robotics software engineer leading an autonomy stack migration from ROS1 to ROS2, including a custom-built global parameter server to preserve existing infrastructure while shipping continuous production releases. Hands-on across navigation/safety/monitoring packages, control (ROS2 PID for steering/speed), and localization performance work (particle filter optimization), with strong ownership of CI-driven test strategy and release quality.”

“Engineering leader with BCG consulting background who has built roadmaps and scaled AI and data platforms for pharma and manufacturing clients. Led architecture shifts (Django monolith to event-driven microservices) for high-volume IoT SaaS products, improving deployment speed and enabling zero-downtime releases. Also established a near-shore engineering team in São Paulo and has managed distributed teams across multiple countries, leveraging strong stakeholder communication and a prior professional acting background for storytelling.”

“Frontend-focused JavaScript engineer who built Collabsync with real-time chat and file sharing using Socket.io, emphasizing reusable components, clear event contracts, and performance (minimizing React re-renders). Has experience at PwC building internal React/Angular dashboards and documenting insurance APIs, plus a contract role at Capital One delivering in fast-changing, loosely defined environments.”

“Open-source contributor to a JavaScript visualization library who focused on runtime/rendering performance—eliminating unnecessary full redraws via memoization and diff-based updates validated with Chrome profiling. Also strengthened the project’s developer experience by adding TypeScript definitions, writing practical documentation, building minimal example apps, and handling community issues with reproducible debugging and public fixes.”

“Applied LLMs and a graph-RAG architecture in Neo4j to automate an accounting firm's cross-checking of transactional books against tax regulations, indexing 1,000+ pages into a knowledge graph with vector search. Combines agentic LLM workflows with classical NER (Hugging Face/NLTK) and validates using expert-labeled held-out data plus precision/recall and measured accountant time savings after deployment.”

“Data platform engineer with hands-on ownership of high-volume financial data pipelines (millions of transactions/day) on Azure (ADF, Databricks, Delta Lake, Synapse), emphasizing schema-drift protection and automated data-quality gates. Also built resilient web scraping pipelines with anti-bot and backfill strategies, and shipped a versioned FastAPI + Redis data API with autoscaling, testing, and CI/CD via GitHub Actions.”

“Backend/data engineer with hands-on production experience across FastAPI/PostgreSQL APIs and AWS (Lambda, ECS) delivered via Terraform + GitHub Actions. Built Glue-based ETL pipelines into Redshift with schema evolution and data quality checks, modernized legacy reporting into Python microservices, and has demonstrated measurable SQL performance wins (multi-second query reduced to sub-300ms).”
