Vetted Software Development Engineers in the Bay Area

“Search/backend engineer with hands-on experience improving Apache Solr-based search systems end-to-end (indexing strategy changes, ETL updates, and Java/Spring Boot Search API work). Demonstrated production rigor with QA partnership, A/B testing, and rollback-safe kill switches, plus measurable product impact (e.g., +1.5% add-to-cart) and operational troubleshooting including traffic/security mitigation.”

“Software engineer with experience spanning an SEL internship and Walmart, combining backend/data pipeline work (Python, Kafka, relational DBs) with DevOps practices (Docker, Grafana, GitHub/Jenkins CI/CD, GitOps). Notably contributed to a REST-to-GraphQL migration aimed at reducing cloud utilization and implemented testing strategies to validate the transition.”

Senior Software Engineer specializing in low-latency ad targeting and distributed backend systems

Santa Clara, CA9y exp

“Backend/platform engineer who built a high-scale audience segmentation and real-time targeting system using Spark/Glue + S3/Hudi and low-latency API services backed by Redis/relational stores. Demonstrates strong production rigor: Spark performance tuning to eliminate OOM failures, API idempotency/caching to cut p95 latency ~40%, and careful dual-run/feature-flag migrations with reconciliation and rollback runbooks. Experienced implementing layered security with JWT/OAuth, RBAC/ABAC, and database row-level security to prevent privilege escalation.”
