Vetted Terraform Professionals

“Backend/Node.js-focused engineer who improved a widely used shared config/logging utility library by fixing a real-world async race condition (single disk read under concurrency) and adding stronger validation/testing, resulting in more deterministic services and faster startup/build/CI times. Also builds internal platform automation spanning Python/Go/TypeScript with strong documentation practices and security-conscious customer onboarding (e.g., sensitive Kubernetes clusters, HashiCorp Vault access issues).”

“AWS Cloud DevOps Engineer focused on production Linux environments, building secure CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins/GitHub) to deploy Dockerized services to AWS ECS and automating infrastructure with Terraform/CloudFormation. Strong in operational troubleshooting and scaling (CloudWatch-driven performance remediation, Auto Scaling/ELB, multi-AZ HA patterns), but explicitly does not have IBM Power/AIX or PowerHA/HACMP experience.”

“Full-stack TypeScript engineer who has owned a real-time workflow/communication platform end-to-end in production (Node/TS + React, Postgres/Redis, Kafka, Docker/CI/CD). Demonstrates strong distributed-systems pragmatism—designing for failure with retries, DLQs, idempotency keys, and atomic writes—plus operational practices like structured logging, monitoring, and zero-downtime deployments.”

“Backend/data engineer with strong AWS production experience spanning serverless APIs and containerized workers (Lambda, API Gateway, ECS) plus data pipelines (Glue, S3, Athena/Redshift). Has modernized legacy SAS/cron batch systems into Python/AWS with parallel-run parity validation and low-risk cutovers, and has owned ETL incidents end-to-end (CloudWatch detection, backfills, and preventative controls). Targeting $130k–$150k base and strongly prefers remote, with occasional Bethesda onsite acceptable.”

Mid-Level Full-Stack Software Developer specializing in React, Node.js, and Django APIs

Baltimore, MD3y exp

“Backend engineer who built Polyglot, a large-scale LLM code-translation benchmarking framework, orchestrating translation/compilation/testing with Pytest and storing traceable results for 100,000+ translations. Also built TestForge with FastAPI + LangChain/Ollama and scaled high-throughput evaluation using Celery + Redis, cutting processing time by over 50% through parallelism and batching.”

USA5y exp

“Software engineer/product-minded builder who owns customer-facing products end-to-end and ships in 1–2 week increments using CI/CD, automated testing, and feature flags. Built a TypeScript/React/Node platform that cut page load times by 40% and scaled to 3x concurrent users, and designed RabbitMQ-based microservices with Prometheus/Grafana monitoring. Also delivered an internal real-time support analytics dashboard that reduced response times by 30%.”

Mid-level Software Engineer specializing in full-stack web, Go microservices, and AI integrations

Remote, USA5y exp

“Backend/LLM engineer who ships production internal tooling end-to-end: automated data-request processing with monitoring-driven improvements (better error diagnostics and lower latency via query/index tuning). Also built a RAG-based internal Q&A system over company docs and operational logs with guardrails (similarity thresholds, fallbacks, response limits) and an eval loop using real user queries and human review to drive prompt/retrieval changes.”

“Robotics software engineer focused on backend/integration for indoor autonomous mobile robots, with hands-on ROS 2 experience integrating Nav2/AMCL/TF2 and LiDAR/camera pipelines. Emphasizes production readiness—robust failure recovery, QoS-tuned distributed communication, and strong observability (logging/health checks)—validated through Gazebo simulation, sensor-data replay debugging, and Docker-based CI/CD deployment.”

“Backend/data platform engineer who owned a near-real-time patient feedback ingestion system, building a FastAPI + Kafka service with Snowflake/Airflow orchestration. Demonstrates strong production Kubernetes/GitOps practices on AWS EKS (Helm, Argo CD, Sealed Secrets) and solved real-time data integrity issues via idempotent processing with Redis.”

“Data engineer with ~4 years of experience building Python-based data ingestion/processing services and real-time streaming pipelines (Kafka/PubSub + Spark Structured Streaming). Has deployed containerized data applications on Kubernetes with GitLab CI/Jenkins pipelines and applied GitOps to cut deployment time ~40% while reducing config drift. Also supported a legacy on-prem data warehouse/backend migration to GCP using phased migration and parallel validation to meet strict reliability/SLA needs.”

Mid-level Software Engineer specializing in full-stack cloud and agentic AI systems

San Jose, CA3y exp

“Backend engineer with hands-on ownership of production systems across maritime tracking, HR tech, and AI-powered document workflows. They combine strong operational instincts with measurable impact—cutting API latency from 10s to 3s, improving query performance by 60%, reducing deployment time by 50%, and driving 70% infrastructure cost savings with serverless design.”

“Built and deployed a production LLM-powered demand and churn forecasting system for an e-commerce client, combining open-source LLMs (LLaMA/Mistral) and Sentence-BERT embeddings to generate business-friendly explanations of forecast drivers. Strong focus on data quality and model trust (validation, baselines, segmented monitoring) and production reliability via Airflow-orchestrated pipelines with readiness checks, retries, and ongoing drift/A-B testing.”

Senior Engineering Manager specializing in AI platforms and cloud-native backend systems

Sunnyvale, CA11y exp

“Player-coach engineering leader who stayed hands-on (coding/reviews) while leading delivery, including designing an event-driven AI workflow engine with explicit state modeling and robust retries. Built near real-time enterprise analytics for campaign measurement and drove reliability/process improvements (observability, incident runbooks, release management). Introduced lightweight CI/CD and automated testing to cut release time by ~40% while maintaining quality.”

“Infrastructure/platform engineer with hands-on experience building and operating AWS Kubernetes environments with Terraform, including blue/green upgrade strategies and observability (Grafana/Prometheus). Modernized a mission-critical PostgreSQL system from legacy Sun SPARC hardware to x86/KVM with SAN and then redesigned it for load-balanced HA failover, and has operated hybrid on-prem (vSphere) to AWS connectivity using BGP/VPN and later Direct Connect, including post-incident improvements to centralized network config management.”
