Vetted OpenTelemetry Professionals

“ML/NLP practitioner who has delivered production systems in regulated domains, including a healthcare compliance pipeline using RAG (GPT-4/Claude) plus TF-IDF retrieval that increased document review throughput 4.5x. Also has hands-on experience improving fraud detection data quality via entity resolution (Levenshtein, Dedupe.py) validated with A/B testing, and building scalable, monitored workflows with Airflow, CI/CD, and AWS SageMaker.”

“Built and shipped a production Python-based agentic RAG document retrieval system over 80K records using FastAPI, OCR, vector search, and AWS infrastructure, with a strong emphasis on reliability, testing, and observability. Stands out for treating AI failures like production incidents—turning hallucinations, retrieval misses, and OCR issues into regression tests—and for quantifiably reducing document lookup time from about 12 minutes to under 90 seconds.”

“Engineer focused on real-time collaborative canvas products and AI-assisted design workflows, with hands-on ownership of both multiplayer infrastructure and LLM-powered generation systems. They combine strong TypeScript/full-stack architecture with production-grade AI evals and observability, and cite meaningful outcomes including zero sync-conflict bugs, rollout to 50,000+ DAUs, and major gains in onboarding speed and engagement.”

Executive Technology Leader specializing in distributed systems and multi-cloud infrastructure

Denver, Colorado, United States9y exp

“Early-stage builder who blends deep technical product work with go-to-market execution: created developer-focused platform tooling (Rust/Node/React) and at Harper moved from customer success into sales/partnerships, leading an Akamai partnership that ultimately helped close Walmart. Currently building a distributed application platform in Rust and iterating on macro-based abstractions to make Rust feel as approachable as Node.js; has not yet closed a seed round and is seeking a trusted operator counterpart.”

“Backend/AI engineer who built production-grade intelligence systems in high-stakes domains including tax/legal document analysis and brain tumor MRI workflows. Stands out for combining LLM/RAG product delivery with strong engineering rigor around retrieval evaluation, grounding, validation, observability, and safe fallbacks—turning impressive demos into systems users could actually trust.”

Junior AI/Full-Stack Software Engineer specializing in ad automation and LLM systems

Dallas, Texas3y exp

“Full-stack engineer with deep ad-tech/marketing automation experience, building production tools that reduce programmatic ad waste and improve search ads performance. Shipped and operated AWS-deployed, Dockerized systems with Postgres/Redis and strong observability (Datadog/OpenTelemetry), and delivered measurable impact (25k campaigns processed, 50k sites negated, 3–4 hours/week saved). Built scalable abstractions for multi-platform ad integrations, enabling rapid onboarding of additional clients.”

“Candidate is actively using AI-assisted development tools, including MCP server integrations with Copilot, to generate boilerplate test scripts, validate code standards, and handle package updates. They also have hands-on experience choosing different agents based on task requirements and serving as an admin for AI tool access.”

“Software engineer with a strong builder mindset who has worked across ML, backend, and frontend systems. Notably built an AI-driven predictive autoscaler for Kubernetes from scratch using Prometheus, TensorFlow, Flask, and Spring Boot, and also delivered customer-facing automation features in financial document processing by working directly with auditors to translate domain rules into product logic.”

“Product-minded full-stack engineer with experience in fintech identity verification and industrial analytics, focused on turning repeated operational pain points into reusable platforms. Built real-time KYC/KYB dashboards, secure cross-platform web components, and a multi-tenant workflow engine that cut onboarding from 2 weeks to 1 day while materially improving conversion, reliability, and developer speed.”

“Full-stack/backend-heavy engineer with strong healthcare domain expertise, focused on modernizing regulated platforms for payroll, billing, and caregiver operations. Notably led a legacy Express.js billing platform migration to modular NestJS services that enabled same-day deployments and unblocked enterprise customer onboarding, while bringing deep experience in compliance, auditability, and production reliability.”

“Frontend-focused engineer with experience in healthcare and fintech dashboards, especially around real-time data delivery and performance. In a growth-stage startup environment, improved dashboard architecture by replacing polling with React Query and GraphQL, leading to more responsive and reliable user experiences and fewer stale-data complaints.”

“Backend-focused engineer with deep healthcare interoperability experience, building Go-based distributed systems for live clinical data exchange across hospital systems. Stands out for combining startup-style ownership with HIPAA/compliance rigor, including creating a reusable Go microservice template and improving reliability across Kafka, PostgreSQL, and Kubernetes-based production platforms.”

“Full-stack engineer with production experience building a legal-tech SaaS onboarding/invitation system end-to-end using Remix/React/TypeScript, Node, Prisma/Postgres, and transactional email (Resend). Emphasizes reliability and operability (idempotent actions, state-machine workflows, layered validation, migrations, logging/metrics/tracing) and has deployed both on AWS (ECS/Fargate, RDS, CloudWatch, SQS) and Dockerized infrastructure (DigitalOcean + Nginx + TLS/Cloudflare).”

“LLM engineer with production experience building end-to-end document processing workflows that unify layout analysis, OCR, and downstream LLM reasoning. Has implemented reliability features (retries, robust error handling, OpenTelemetry logging) and built agentic systems using LangChain/CrewAI, including a student research-paper assistant, while collaborating closely with PMs and non-technical end users to reduce technical debt and simplify architectures.”

Ivano-Frankivsk region, Ukraine11y exp

“Founder building a hiring-focused startup who has engaged with venture investors but is prioritizing direct end-user traction through email marketing and other outreach before returning to raise a seed round. Has experience working with startups that have already raised seed funding and demonstrates a structured approach to market validation (customer conversations, landing pages) prior to heavy development.”

“New grad software engineer who has already built both a full-stack location-based social app and an internal AI on-call copilot using OpenAI and LangChain. Stands out for combining end-to-end product execution with practical LLM engineering, including RAG, fallback design, citations, and production evals, plus shipping a hackathon-winning MVP in 24 hours.”

“Backend/distributed-systems engineer with 9 years of Go experience, focused on financial-services platforms where performance, reliability, and regulatory auditability are critical. He has built low-latency market data infrastructure (p99 under 8ms) and optimized compliance/reporting systems used by finance and audit teams, combining strong systems design with practical production operations.”

“Built and owned an internal AI-powered knowledge assistant that centralized fragmented company knowledge across docs, tickets, and internal systems. They designed the backend, ingestion pipelines, vector search, RAG workflow, and APIs, then drove adoption through pilot testing and quality improvements—ultimately automating roughly 30% of support inquiries and cutting resolution time by about two hours per ticket.”
