Vetted Software Developers in the Bay Area

“Zero Trust security product lead focused on UI/API delivery, stability, and customer adoption at enterprise scale, including deployments serving 1200 customers. Stands out for hands-on production debugging across the full stack, customer-facing incident ownership, and a pragmatic approach to turning failures into automated regression coverage.”

“Backend-focused engineer building customer support/order-tracking platforms with Java 17/Spring Boot microservices and a React/TypeScript frontend. Deep experience running event-driven systems on Kubernetes (Kafka, Redis, MySQL) with strong observability (Prometheus/Grafana/Splunk), SLOs, and safe deployment practices (feature flags, canaries). Also built an internal monitoring/debugging dashboard that consolidated metrics and logs for on-call engineers and was adopted by other teams to speed incident response.”

“Full-stack/product-minded engineer with recent experience in both an early-stage AI startup and a B2B payments marketplace. Stands out for building a pgvector-based semantic cache that reduced LLM latency by 35% and for shipping audit-heavy payment infrastructure with Stripe/Plaid, idempotent webhook handling, and major reconciliation query optimizations.”

Engineering Leader specializing in Digital Health, AI, and Cloud Platforms

Santa Clara, CA16y exp

“Senior Engineering Manager at Roche leading two Scrum teams building internally shared (“inner-sourced”) tools and libraries for a healthcare enterprise. Has led security/compliance-first architecture decisions (e.g., Python AI modules running inside a Java container) and front-end modularization (Angular monorepo to module federation), with a strong focus on developer experience via automated Swagger/OpenAPI documentation and robust testing/versioning practices.”

“Frontend-focused product engineer from TrialTrace who owned features end-to-end across product decisions, architecture, implementation, and testing. Strong in TypeScript/React applications with complex data visualization and dashboarding, including refactoring core coordinate logic, building filter-state architecture, and shipping fast user-driven features.”

“Biopharma R&D product leader with 6-8 years building enterprise data, analytics, and AI products for drug discovery and biologics research. Notably led a multi-site biosample discovery platform that became an enterprise-wide capability at Bristol Myers Squibb and also drove an AI-powered scientific insight platform using RAG/LLM approaches to reduce time-to-insight for researchers.”

Mid-level Java Backend Developer specializing in cloud-native microservices

Sunnyvale, CA5y exp

“Backend-leaning full-stack engineer with Walmart experience building and operating high-volume media upload and processing systems. Strong in Java/Spring Boot, Postgres performance tuning (EXPLAIN/ANALYZE), and durable workflows using Kafka/Spring Batch with retries and idempotency, plus production ownership via monitoring and optimization; familiar with Next.js/TypeScript and modern React performance patterns.”

Mid-level Robotics & AI Researcher specializing in human-robot interaction and reinforcement learning

Santa Clara, CA8y exp

“Robotics software engineer who built an end-to-end mobile manipulation platform (Franka Panda on a Clearpath Ridgeback) for a simulated-kitchen human-robot interaction study with natural speech commands, implemented in Python/ROS. Has hands-on experience integrating diverse sensors (RealSense, LiDAR, biosignals) with deep learning frameworks (PyTorch, Hugging Face) and fine-tuning GPT-Neo, plus simulation (Gazebo) and modern deployment practices (Docker/Kubernetes, CI/CD).”
