Director-level Engineering Leader specializing in SaaS platforms and AI systems

Remote, USA26y exp

“Entrepreneurial candidate building an LLC focused on applying AI to improve call center customer service, with an early go-to-market focus on local government call centers. They are already in discussions with a government prospect and have a clear thesis around solving high turnover and low knowledge retention through AI-assisted training and support systems.”

“Backend/platform engineer who owns policy-lifecycle workflow microservices built in Python/FastAPI with async + DDD, Kafka event processing, SQLAlchemy, JWT/RBAC, and Redis caching (cut DB load ~40%). Experienced deploying Java and Python microservices to Kubernetes with Helm and GitOps (ArgoCD) plus Jenkins/GitHub Actions pipelines to AWS/ECR, and has supported phased on-prem-to-cloud migrations with dependency mapping and data consistency strategies.”

“Backend engineer (Marsh McLennan) who evolved a high-volume claims automation pipeline in Python, emphasizing thin APIs with background job processing, strong validation/retries, and production-grade observability. Experienced in secure FastAPI API design (centralized JWT/RBAC), multi-tenant Postgres/Supabase-style row-level security, and low-risk refactors using parallel runs and feature flags; targeting founding-engineer scope roles.”

MO, USA4y exp

“Backend engineer with Morgan Stanley experience building and owning an end-to-end Python FastAPI microservice for high-volume market data used by trading and risk systems. Strong in performance tuning and reliability (PySpark, Redis caching, async APIs), real-time streaming with Kafka, and production operations (Docker/Kubernetes, GitOps-style CI/CD, monitoring). Has led cloud/on-prem migration work across AWS and Azure, including fixing Azure Synapse performance issues via query and pipeline redesign.”

Senior Software Engineer specializing in cloud-native microservices and secure enterprise platforms

Dallas, TX6y exp

“Full-stack engineer with strong production ownership in banking/identity & entitlements systems, building Spring Boot + Postgres/Redis services and React dashboards, then deploying on AWS EKS with Jenkins CI/CD. Demonstrated impact through reduced authorization latency and fewer access-related support tickets, plus strong observability and reliability practices (CloudWatch, tracing, autoscaling, Kafka pipelines with DLQs and reconciliation).”

“Full-stack engineer with end-to-end ownership of a production customer plan activation and account management flow at T-Mobile, spanning Java/Spring Boot APIs, React frontend, and Docker-based CI/CD deployments. Demonstrated performance/scalability work (query optimization, indexing, caching) and measured success via improved retrieval speed and reduced support tickets.”

“ML engineer at CGI who built demand forecasting models end-to-end, from feature engineering and training through AWS deployment. Stands out for a production-first mindset and strong skepticism of AI-generated code, including catching a Copilot-generated SQL query that would have caused a costly full table scan in production.”

Albany, OR3y exp

“Full-stack engineer with healthcare and claims-domain experience who has shipped AI-assisted documentation and fraud-scoring systems using Angular, ASP.NET Core, OpenAI APIs, and ML tooling. Stands out for building compliance-aware, traceable agentic architectures with graceful degradation, and for a nuanced understanding of AI failure modes in production.”

“Backend/data platform engineer who has built and operated a cloud-native media ingestion/processing platform in Python (Django/DRF, FastAPI) with Kafka, Postgres, and Redis, emphasizing multi-tenant security and reliability. Delivered AWS production systems combining EKS and Lambda with Terraform + GitHub Actions/Helm, and built Glue-based ETL pipelines with strong schema-evolution and data-quality practices; also modernized SAS analytics into Python on AWS. Seeking fully remote roles with a $120K–$140K base range.”

“Backend/web API engineer with hands-on experience deploying .NET Core APIs to Azure App Service and stabilizing production systems through disciplined log-driven troubleshooting, environment configuration management, and SQL performance tuning (execution plans, query rewrites, indexing).
