Vetted Jenkins Professionals

“Backend/platform engineer who has owned real-time reporting and streaming analytics systems end-to-end, combining FastAPI/Postgres APIs with Kafka consumers, Celery background jobs, and Redis caching. Strong DevOps/GitOps experience deploying Python/Node microservices to AWS EKS with Helm, ArgoCD/FluxCD, and CI pipelines, and has supported phased on-prem to AWS migrations using Terraform and traffic cutovers.”

“Engineering leader who drove Lightroom Mobile’s roadmap at Adobe by enforcing reuse of Photoshop imaging tech to deliver RAW, non-destructive mobile editing with full Creative Cloud compatibility. In startup environments, has repeatedly scaled and professionalized engineering orgs (career ladders, evaluation systems, delivery process) and led high-stakes cloud/platform transformations—migrating off Heroku and consolidating fragmented AWS/GCP usage into a single GCP platform—improving reliability, deploy speed, and cutting cloud costs by 20%+.”

Senior Software Engineer specializing in backend platforms and cloud systems

Oakland, CA28y exp

“Engineer with a track record of taking on messy, high-ambiguity systems that others avoid, including a Python rewrite of Google Search Appliance's settings migrator that achieved 95% test coverage and zero bugs. Has also built internal full-stack planning tools at Capital One using React, Kotlin, and Airflow/DBT data pipelines, and brings specialized insurance analytics experience from catastrophe risk modeling for insurers.”

Senior Software Engineer specializing in cloud infrastructure and large-scale data pipelines

Bellevue, USA9y exp

“Backend engineer on Amazon’s Geospatial Data team (Amazon Maps) who built a real-time road-layer service ingesting third-party and internal signals to deliver road closures/traffic overlays to delivery drivers on a ~3-minute cadence while minimizing mobile data egress. Demonstrates strong production reliability skills (rate limiting, idempotency, cache stampede prevention) and security depth (IAM, RBAC, tenant row-level security), plus careful handling of edge cases like manual override protection against automated feed overwrites.”

“Hands-on engineering leader with early-stage startup experience who balances coding with executive alignment and delegation. Has delivered offline-capable SaaS mobile demos under tight timelines, built monetization-ready mobile architectures (dynamic cloud assets + in-app purchases), and increased product velocity via component-based game architecture plus stakeholder self-serve tooling.”

“Built and deployed a production LLM conversational AI system at OpenAI supporting chat, summarization, and semantic search at 1M+ requests/day, driving major latency (40%) and accuracy (25%) improvements through Pinecone optimization and tighter RAG with re-ranking. Also has Amazon experience improving recommendation systems by translating ML metrics into business terms to boost CTR and conversions, with strong MLOps/orchestration depth (Airflow, MLflow, SageMaker, Kubeflow).”

“ML engineer with 5 years at Stripe building and productionizing real-time fraud detection at massive scale (3M+ transactions/day; $5B+ annual payment volume). Delivered measurable impact (22% accuracy lift, 18% loss reduction, +3–5% authorization rates) and has strong MLOps/orchestration experience (Docker, Kubernetes, Airflow, MLflow, CI/CD, monitoring/rollback) plus a structured approach to LLM agent/RAG evaluation.”

“Payments infrastructure engineer with experience at Stripe and Amazon, focused on building high-scale backend systems for checkout, routing, fraud, FX, and partner onboarding. Stands out for combining startup-style execution with enterprise-scale reliability, including a 25% reduction in payment flow errors and onboarding improvements from weeks to days.”

“IBM Power/AIX infrastructure engineer who has owned large-scale Power9/AIX 7.x estates across primary/DR (VIOS/HMC/vHMC) and has deep hands-on experience with DLPAR, shared processor pool governance, and PowerHA recovery. Also brings modern DevOps/IaC capability—built Azure DevOps/GitHub CI/CD for Terraform + Kubernetes/Helm with strong security controls and resolved a production Terraform state-lock failure by redesigning backend locking and pipeline concurrency.”
