Vetted Unit Testing Professionals

“Full-stack/backend engineer with recent hands-on experience building an AI-powered AML/KYC platform for financial institutions, spanning Go/Python backend services, real-time risk pipelines, and React/TypeScript analyst dashboards. Stands out for measurable compliance-tech impact: 94% fewer false positives, review times reduced from days to hours, and microservices processing 10,000+ transactions per second.”

New York, NY8y exp

“Google Workspace AI engineer who owned major AI assistant infrastructure end-to-end: React/TypeScript UI, a Node.js context-aggregation gateway on Cloud Run, and a Go inference layer on GKE serving Gemini. Built and productionized Gmail RAG + agentic workflows with rigorous evals and guardrails, and has a strong track record of measurable impact (latency, engagement, acceptance-rate lifts) and zero-incident migrations using feature flags/strangler patterns across multiple ML teams.”

“Backend/data engineer with experience on large-scale consumer platforms (Google and Meta), building high-traffic Python microservices (REST/gRPC) on Kubernetes with strong reliability/observability practices. Delivered AWS container-based deployments with CI/CD and IaC, and built AWS Glue ETL pipelines on S3 with schema evolution and data quality controls; also has demonstrated SQL tuning impact (15% latency reduction) and incident ownership for batch pipelines.”

“Highly experienced robotics software engineer building ROS/ROS2 systems for fleets of autonomous mobile robots (Clearpath Jackal/Husky and custom platforms), spanning localization, navigation, and multi-robot coordination. Has published work at ICRA (including RL-based local planning and heterogeneous robot coordination via a ROS-to-ZMQ bridge) and maintains open-source ROS modules, with strong simulation, debugging, and CI/CD practices.”

Bellevue, WA13y exp

“ML/LLM engineer with hands-on experience shipping production RAG systems at Google Clinical Search and GenAI recommendation/summarization features in Meta Ads. Stands out for combining research-to-production execution with rigorous grounding, evaluation, safety checks, and reusable Python platform components that improved both reliability and team velocity.”

“Engineering leader/player-coach who built and validated a preference-based recommendation engine using clustering, including generating test data to evaluate how clusters evolve over time. Has SRE/DevOps experience and has owned production incidents end-to-end (logging-driven RCA and refactoring patterns that failed at large data scale). Emphasizes quality and platform stability via unit, integration, and load testing, and has managed performance via regular 1:1s and PIPs.”

“Backend/ML platform engineer with Google experience leading Python microservices for an AI-driven recommendation/retrieval system, including PyTorch inference and a retrieval-augmented generation workflow. Strong in production Kubernetes + GitOps (ArgoCD), real-time Kafka/Spark pipelines, and phased on-prem/legacy to AWS/GCP cloud migrations with reliability-focused rollout and rollback practices.”

“Meta engineer who owned end-to-end production systems for AI-enabled smart glasses, spanning React/TypeScript apps through Node/Java microservices on AWS EKS with Kafka/Postgres. Built and productionized a real-time RAG pipeline (LangChain + OpenAI + Elasticsearch) with rigorous guardrails (shadow/canary, fallbacks, monitoring), delivering major improvements in latency (~35–40%), error reduction (~30%), and engagement (reported +40% DAU).”

Adams, MA8y exp

“Amazon engineer focused on productionizing LLM-powered developer workflows, including code assistance, debugging automation, and internal AI tooling. Stands out for combining hands-on ML systems work with strong platform engineering, including an orchestration engine that reportedly saved about $10K/day and reduced a manual workflow from 12 hours to under a second.”

Senior Machine Learning Engineer specializing in LLMs and recommendation systems

New York, NY11y exp

“ML/GenAI engineer who owned major parts of Spotify’s AI DJ from offline experimentation through deployment, monitoring, and iteration. They combine recommender systems, RAG, real-time feedback loops, and LLM safety/orchestration to ship consumer-facing personalization features that drove double-digit engagement and deeper listening sessions.”

Senior Software Engineer specializing in backend platforms and cloud systems

Oakland, CA28y exp

“Engineer with a track record of taking on messy, high-ambiguity systems that others avoid, including a Python rewrite of Google Search Appliance's settings migrator that achieved 95% test coverage and zero bugs. Has also built internal full-stack planning tools at Capital One using React, Kotlin, and Airflow/DBT data pipelines, and brings specialized insurance analytics experience from catastrophe risk modeling for insurers.”
