Seeking a fully remote role with compensation around €60–70k.”

“Engineering leader who drove TiVo IPTV’s client-facing API modernization from a monolith to AWS-based microservices (API Gateway, Lambda, EKS, Kafka, DynamoDB/RDS), including phased/blue-green production routing of millions of calls. Emphasizes org scaling through skill-based hiring, mentorship, and a you-build-you-run ownership culture, while balancing technical leadership with executive stakeholder communication and budgeting.”

“React-focused engineer who built a full-stack analytics/test-metrics dashboard (React frontend + Python backend) and turned common UI pieces (data tables, filter panels, chart wrappers) into a reusable internal component library with docs, examples, and basic tests. Strong on profiling-driven performance optimization (React Profiler, memoization) and on owning ambiguous internal-tool projects end-to-end; now planning to package internal patterns into public open-source components.”

“LLM-focused customer-facing engineer who repeatedly takes document Q&A and agentic prototypes into secure, monitored production systems. Experienced in reducing hallucinations via RAG + guardrails, diagnosing retrieval/embedding issues in real time, and partnering with sales to run metrics-driven PoCs that overcome accuracy/security objections and drive adoption.”

“Autonomous driving perception/mapping engineer who designed a vectorized local mapping module end-to-end across labeling, training, and evaluation for multi-modal inputs (vision/LiDAR/nav maps). Implemented automated evaluation/regression testing and improved occlusion/long-range precision by ~5% using temporal features and transformer-based reference points, while optimizing models via pruning/EfficientNet to fit system resource constraints.”
