Vetted Software Development Engineers in California

“Backend/full-stack engineer (5+ years) with Shopify experience integrating LLM/RAG workflows into production APIs. Owned a Python TensorFlow Serving inference pipeline connected to Java microservices via gRPC, optimizing tail latency at ~10k concurrent load and improving retrieval relevance with embedding and evaluation work. Strong Kubernetes/EKS + GitOps/CI/CD background, including monolith-to-microservices migrations and event-driven streaming patterns.”

“React-focused engineer who built a full-stack analytics/test-metrics dashboard (React frontend + Python backend) and turned common UI pieces (data tables, filter panels, chart wrappers) into a reusable internal component library with docs, examples, and basic tests. Strong on profiling-driven performance optimization (React Profiler, memoization) and on owning ambiguous internal-tool projects end-to-end; now planning to package internal patterns into public open-source components.”

“Product-focused full-stack engineer building a GenAI-powered case summarization workflow for a telemetry dashboard, spanning React/TypeScript UI (confidence indicators, reasoning traces) and Python/FastAPI backend with caching to control LLM latency/cost. Has operated services on AWS (ECS Fargate, RDS Postgres, S3) and Kubernetes, and has hands-on experience resolving real production latency incidents through query/index optimization and caching.”

“End-to-end deployment owner for Oracle document delivery/print services in a hospital-like production environment, focused on reliability/performance at scale (thousands of systems). Also describes implementing event-driven RAG/agentic LLM workflows with attention to embeddings/index consistency, latency, and measurable improvements in response relevance and operational efficiency.”

“Robotics software engineer who has built end-to-end pipelines spanning backend/data processing through model interfaces and hardware integration. Has hands-on ROS2 experience building Python nodes and debugging real-time behavior via profiling, publish-rate tuning, and latency fixes, plus experience standardizing multi-robot communication with QoS adjustments. Uses Gazebo simulation and Docker/CI/CD to catch integration issues early and speed iteration.”

“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.”

“Backend/microservices engineer with fintech loan-lifecycle experience operating low-latency (sub-250ms) services in production using Kafka, idempotent transaction design, and Datadog observability. Also built an end-to-end LLM chatbot (React + Flask) with a decoupled model integration layer (FLAN-T5 via Hugging Face) and has experience designing partner-facing REST APIs with OAuth2/JWT and Swagger documentation.”
