Mid-level Software Engineer specializing in backend systems, microservices, and AI pipelines

North Carolina, USA4y exp

“AI/LLM engineer focused on building reliable, scalable multi-agent and RAG-based pipelines across microservices. Stands out for combining practical experimentation with strong engineering discipline around schema validation, retries, observability, and structured API contracts to make LLM systems production-ready.”

“Built a production AI stylist agent for retail store associates that pulls customer loyalty, address, and purchase-history data to generate in-store product recommendations. Demonstrates hands-on experience across agent orchestration, MCP-based tool integration, Vertex AI/GCP deployment, observability, resilience patterns, and pragmatic production tradeoffs like using PostgreSQL with pgvector instead of a standalone vector database.”

Mid Software Engineer specializing in backend, full-stack, and AI systems

USA3y exp

“Full-stack engineer with strong fintech/financial-systems experience who built an automated reconciliation and reporting system end-to-end (Python/Django/FastAPI + React, Docker on AWS), cutting reconciliation time by ~25% and improving audit traceability. Experienced designing typed REST APIs and Postgres data models, operating production workloads on AWS (EC2/Lambda/RDS/DynamoDB/CloudWatch), and building reliable ETL/integration pipelines with idempotency, retries, and reconciliation.”

Shreyas Kumar

Entry-level AI Engineer specializing in LLMs and applied NLP systems

Syracuse, NY1y exp

“Built Lumo, a real-time voice AI companion, owning the product end-to-end across React/TypeScript, FastAPI WebSockets, and PostgreSQL. Stands out for combining deep full-stack systems thinking with voice UX polish, reliability instrumentation, and configurable parent-control guardrails in a multi-tenant setup.”

SUMANTH Metimath

Screened

Mid-level Data Scientist specializing in ML, LLMs, and AI systems

Potsdam, NY3y exp

“Candidate takes a pragmatic approach to AI-driven development, using AI as a productivity and learning aid while emphasizing personal understanding and code validation. They have hands-on experience applying AI-assisted workflows to a resume analysis and ATS scoring project, including code generation, debugging, parsing logic improvement, and testing.”

Raj Shrinivasan

Screened

Principal AI Engineer specializing in agentic systems and cloud-native platforms

Cleveland, OH23y exp

“Built a production RAG-powered analytics copilot at Aya Healthcare for operations leaders and analysts on a large healthcare staffing platform processing over a billion telemetry records annually. Stands out for strong production-minded agent engineering: deterministic orchestration, grounding-first design, deep observability, and data-driven workflow changes such as confidence-based human review for a PR review agent.”

“Built an AI-driven trading mentor/analytics system combining a React frontend, Spring Boot backend, and FastAPI ML service for stock risk and indicator analysis. Stands out for a pragmatic approach to AI-assisted development: uses AI for acceleration, but manually reviews code line by line, validates outputs against real market behavior, and adds safeguards for unreliable financial data.”

“Fullstack engineer with strong backend depth who has owned complex digital banking modernization work end-to-end, spanning React UI workflows, Spring Boot microservices, API design, and event-driven integrations. Stands out for balancing technical architecture with user clarity, especially in ambiguous environments where stakeholder feedback reshaped workflows after launch.”

“Full-stack engineer with a strong builder mindset who has shipped both enterprise workflow software and AI-powered assistant platforms. They combine React/TypeScript and Node.js depth with hands-on experience in LLM/RAG systems, vector search, and reusable MCP-based agent infrastructure, and have delivered customer-facing products for enterprise operations teams including 40+ features across two products.”

Anirudh Raj

Screened

Entry-Level Machine Learning & Cloud Engineer specializing in AI data pipelines

Boston, MA

“Early-career cloud/appsec-focused engineer with hands-on experience building secure, observable microservice systems on AWS (IAM least privilege, KMS encryption, Secrets Manager, CloudWatch, ALB) and troubleshooting autoscaling-related 500s down to connection pooling issues. Also deployed heavy ML workloads on Kubernetes by decomposing diffusion/transformer services, using workload identity to eliminate static credentials, and maintaining GitOps-style deployment audit trails.”

“Backend/data engineer with hands-on production experience across FastAPI microservices and AWS (Lambda, ECS, SQS, RDS, S3), plus Glue/Athena analytics pipelines. Demonstrates strong reliability and operations focus (timeouts/retries, centralized errors, CloudWatch monitoring) and measurable SQL optimization impact (25s to under 2s). Seeking fully remote senior developer role at ~$150k base.”

“Backend/data engineer with hands-on AWS data platform work (S3 + Glue + Lambda/Step Functions) and Kubernetes GitOps delivery (Argo CD + GitHub Actions). Has led ingestion and transformation of semi-structured event data, built internal APIs for ETL operations/monitoring, and implemented Kafka-based near-real-time streaming with enrichment and Elasticsearch for search/analytics, plus experience supporting an on-prem ERP migration to AWS.”

“Entrepreneurial product builder who created chaintrigger.com in response to early Web3 demand for real-time on-chain event reactions, offering an alternative to The Graph Protocol and achieving adoption among games and other Web3 projects. Currently developing new tools, dogfooding internally, and building distribution via personal network and a niche Twitter/X following to gather feedback and iterate quickly.”

“Engineering leader for a facial-recognition edge platform who drove a full-stack modernization to scale from ~100 edge devices to thousands of locations. Led a major distributed-systems re-architecture (NATS streaming), database migration (MongoDB to PostgreSQL + TimeScaleDB), and UI/API modernization (React), while scaling the team 5→15 and implementing CI/CD + automated QA to improve release velocity and reliability.”
