Vetted Scala Professionals

“Senior, product-focused engineer who has built real-time customer-facing web applications and a microservices backend (TypeScript/React/Node) using RabbitMQ, MongoDB, and Redis. Demonstrates strong operational maturity (idempotency, tracing/observability, backpressure) and built an internal console that became the primary tool for debugging, replaying jobs, and managing system behavior.”

“LLMOps-focused technical leader who took an LLM use case from prototype to production for a non-technical customer by combining trust-building and structured enablement with a robust AWS/Kubernetes-based MLOps stack. Built observability and rollback mechanisms (Grafana + MLflow) to troubleshoot in real time, and scaled delivery by hiring a 5-person team while partnering with sales to manage expectations and drive adoption across departments.”

“Player-coach engineering leader focused on scalable data security scanning and risk detection in hybrid cloud, owning architecture and core implementation of an incremental/parallel DSPM scanning engine. Shipped production improvements including 60% lower scan latency and 30% fewer false positives, with strong emphasis on correctness under concurrency, multi-tenant observability (SLOs/burn-rate alerts), and disciplined rollout practices (feature flags, shadow scans, canaries).”

“Engineering leader/player-coach with recent hands-on work delivering an agentic AI MVP on Amazon Bedrock (conversational UI + supervisor agent routing between internal knowledge and external sources). Previously drove large-scale data platform cost optimization at Twitter, saving ~$3M–$5M annually, and has owned production incidents end-to-end with a focus on analytics/monitoring improvements and team coaching.”

“Built a chatbot for a learning management system during a Deep Atlas bootcamp by mapping an end-to-end RAG architecture (document ingestion, Qdrant-based retrieval scoring, and LLM response synthesis). Previously at Rally Health/UnitedHealthcare, diagnosed load-related memory spikes with JMeter and improved stability by migrating caching from Guava to Redis, and also supported adoption through UI A/B testing in a technical marketing engineer rotation.”

“Fintech/neobank CTO (5+ years across US and UK markets) now building Payzo Money, a fintech copilot for SMBs covering expenses, accounting, invoicing, and payroll. Pre-revenue and seeking a $5M seed round, with active Bay Area conversations and a clear focus on bank sponsorship plus compliance/operations readiness; leverages Claude-based AI agents to accelerate building with limited resources.”

“Backend engineer with Amazon experience building large-scale, automated financial/accounting and pricing systems on AWS. Designed a fault-tolerant Step Functions + DynamoDB workflow platform handling 100K+ messages/sec to compute fair values and generate journal entries in under 3 seconds, and led safe API refactors using shadow mismatch testing. Also uncovered a major legacy pricing bug (tax vs non-tax swap) that cut mismatch rates from 5–10% to ~0.5% and materially improved price acceptance/business outcomes.”
