Mid-level Software Engineer specializing in AI, full-stack systems, and platform engineering

Virginia, USA6y exp

“Full-stack/AI engineer with experience spanning supply-chain product deployments, biomedical agentic search, and research-grade RAG evaluation. Stands out for owning customer-facing migrations at scale (including 216,000 historical shipments), building measurable LLM systems, and pairing AI experimentation with rigorous evals, rollout controls, and auditability.”

“Backend/AI infrastructure engineer focused on production-ready LLM systems and distributed workflows. They described building a RAG-based multi-step agent with strong reliability controls, evaluation loops, and graceful degradation that improved latency by 30%, retrieval accuracy by 15%, and reduced support workload by 40%.”

“Backend/AI engineer who has shipped an LLM-powered enterprise support-ticket agent at Comcast, building a production-grade microservices pipeline (FastAPI, SQS, Redis) with strong observability (OpenTelemetry/Splunk/Prometheus/Grafana) and reliability patterns (async, caching, circuit breakers, idempotency). Demonstrated quantified impact at scale—processing 10k+ tickets/day while improving response SLAs and routing accuracy through evaluation and human feedback loops.”

“Candidate brings a pragmatic, production-focused approach to AI-assisted software development, using AI as a pair programmer and conceptually applying multi-agent workflows across coding, testing, and review. They stand out for putting strong guardrails around AI usage—manual review, testing, SonarQube, peer review, and keeping critical logic manual—to improve speed without compromising security or code quality.”

Junior Full-Stack Java Developer specializing in enterprise web applications

Ames, IA2y exp

“Full-stack engineer with hands-on experience building an internal telecom order-tracking/dashboard platform at T-Mobile across React, Spring Boot, and PostgreSQL. Stands out for owning features end-to-end, from scalable frontend architecture and TypeScript patterns to API design, query optimization, CI/CD, and post-launch monitoring in AWS CloudWatch.”

“Software developer who uses AI pragmatically across the full stack to accelerate coding, testing, debugging, and documentation while maintaining strong human oversight. Stands out for treating AI output like any other code source—reviewing for architecture fit, security risks, performance, and standards before integration—and for coordinating multiple AI tools across backend, frontend, and test workflows.”

“Data engineer/backend engineer with healthcare domain experience at Centene, where they owned an end-to-end claims processing pipeline handling over 1 million monthly records. They combine Python/SQL pipeline work with API and event-driven service development, and cite a measurable 35% reduction in incident detection time through automated monitoring and validation.”
