Entry-Level Software Engineer specializing in AI APIs and RAG systems

0y exp

“Junior/entry-level AI/LLM engineer who built a production-oriented RAG onboarding and knowledge assistant that ingests GitHub repos and internal sources (e.g., Confluence/Jira) using ChromaDB, with reliability features like retrieval fallbacks, retries, caching, and monitoring. Currently implementing a LangGraph-based multi-agent workflow with intent routing and Pydantic/Magentic-validated structured outputs, plus CI/CD offline evals and online metrics (Grafana/Prometheus) to improve predictability and reliability.”

“Analytics professional with operations-grounded experience at WWEX Group who built a Snowflake/dbt fleet-efficiency data model combining telematics, ERP, and driver logs into near real-time executive reporting. They pair strong SQL/Python workflow automation with practical stakeholder enablement, and cite measurable impact including cutting reporting time from 72 hours to 15 minutes and helping drive $450K in quarterly fuel savings.”

“Backend engineer with deep Kafka/FastAPI microservices experience who redesigned a notification pipeline to cut end-to-end latency from ~5s to ~3s (including custom partition assignment and consumer tuning). Led a high-stakes ClickUp-to-Oracle migration of 1M+ records using idempotent ETL, reconciliation, and shadow deployment to achieve >99% integrity with zero downtime, and has hands-on production security implementation with Django/DRF (JWT + RBAC).”

“Backend/data engineer experienced building enterprise community-platform services for high-traffic global clients, using Python (FastAPI/Django) on Docker/Kubernetes with PostgreSQL/Redis. Has delivered AWS EKS + Terraform/CI-CD deployments with strong security practices (Secrets Manager/SSM, IAM/IRSA) and has hands-on ETL (AWS Glue), legacy modernization, and incident ownership with measurable performance gains (~30% faster queries).”

“Full-stack engineer at an early-stage EdTech startup building an AI-tutoring product; owns most of a Django REST backend, CI/CD, and key customer-facing features like FERPA-compliant auth, subscription payments, and real-time LaTeX input/rendering. Also built a /rPlace-style real-time multiplayer canvas (PolyPlace) using microservices, WebSockets, and event sourcing, with performance-focused client rendering (zoom/pan/viewport-based updates) and stress testing.”

Junior Full-Stack Software Engineer specializing in Python APIs, React, and cloud AI integrations

Superior, CO2y exp

“Customer-facing software engineer who builds and deploys practical AI/RAG solutions (e.g., an AI assistant for searching billing PDFs) by deeply understanding support workflows and iterating with users. Demonstrates strong production instincts—quickly stabilizing peak-traffic API timeouts with caching/background jobs, then implementing durable fixes with proper monitoring and maintainable code practices.”

Mid-level Software Engineer specializing in frontend and full-stack SaaS platforms

Santa Clara, CA7y exp

“Frontend-focused product engineer who owned the Quickwork automation platform’s architecture from 0 to 1, including a major migration from a monolithic frontend to microfrontends with Module Federation. Particularly strong in complex operational UX: real-time execution monitoring, analytics dashboards, API contract design, and performance-sensitive React/TypeScript systems for B2B SaaS workflows.”

“Full-stack engineer who has shipped and operated generative-AI chat/QA features end-to-end, including a RAG-based pipeline with guardrails and cost/latency monitoring in production. Experienced with React/TypeScript + Node/Postgres architectures, Dockerized deployments to AWS (EC2) via GitHub Actions CI/CD, and building reliable ingestion/ETL systems with idempotency, backfills, and reconciliation.”

“Software/product engineer who owns customer-facing internal platforms end-to-end, with deep experience building data pipeline health and data quality tooling (near-real-time alerting and ops dashboards). Strong in React/TypeScript + Python REST architectures and microservices with RabbitMQ, emphasizing reliability patterns (idempotency, DLQs, correlation IDs) and fast, safe iteration via feature flags, testing, and observability.”

“Backend engineer who owned the API layer for an AI trust/analytics dashboard (trust scores, stability checks, public verification endpoints) using Python/FastAPI and Postgres. Has hands-on DevOps experience deploying FastAPI and Node.js services to AWS Kubernetes with GitHub Actions + ArgoCD GitOps, plus Kafka-based real-time event streaming and careful staged migration practices (shadow traffic/dual writes, rollback planning).”

Junior Machine Learning & Backend Engineer specializing in LLM systems and ML infrastructure

Boulder, CO1y exp

“Built and deployed production RAG-based document search/Q&A systems (DocChat and an internship marketing RAG), using a React + FastAPI stack on GCP with docs stored in GCP buckets and retrieval via embeddings/vector DB. Emphasizes cost/performance tradeoffs (reported ~40% cost reduction) and ships via Docker (Railway), with load/API testing using JMeter and Swagger; regularly collaborates with a CEO stakeholder to iterate and push changes to production.”

Junior Data/AI Engineer specializing in MLOps, real-time pipelines, and LLM applications

Portland, US2y exp

“Built an LLM-driven MLOps agent at SBD Technologies that automated an EV-charging prediction workflow end-to-end, integrating with real-time Kafka/FastAPI systems supporting 120K+ chargers at 99.99% event delivery. Addressed frequent schema drift by implementing SQLAlchemy/Flyway validation (60% reduction in drift issues) and deployed as Kubernetes microservices with GitHub Actions CI/CD; also has Airflow-based ingestion/crawling experience into Snowflake and stakeholder-facing delivery via a Fleetcharge PWA.”

“Software engineer with hands-on experience across platform modernization, production AI agents, and workflow automation. They led a monolith-to-microservices migration that increased deployment speed from weekly to daily, built a self-healing GPT-powered browser agent with an 85% autonomous recovery rate, and founded/ran ZapDash, where they hardened Kafka-based integrations against silent data loss.”
