Vetted Software Engineers in the Bay Area

“ML/NLP engineer with experience at NVIDIA and Cruise building production-grade AI systems across genomics/biomedical research and autonomous vehicle data. Has delivered multimodal LLM pipelines, large-scale entity resolution, and hybrid semantic search (BERT embeddings + FAISS + Elasticsearch), with measurable impact (≈40% accuracy/retrieval gains; ≈30% data consistency improvement) and strong MLOps practices (Kubernetes, CI/CD, MLflow, Prometheus/Grafana).”

“Meta engineer who owned a heavily used internal goals/performance management feature end-to-end, driving major responsiveness improvements by restructuring frontend data loading and adding backend caching (Memcached), cache warmups, and query/index tuning. Strong focus on production quality: observability, error monitoring, and improving test coverage to prevent regressions during peak review cycles.”

“Backend/data engineer with production experience at Uber building a near real-time driver rewards service on AWS (FastAPI, PostgreSQL, Redis) with strong reliability and concurrency controls. Also delivered AWS Lambda/ECS containerized deployments with GitHub Actions CI/CD and cost governance, built AWS Glue ETL with schema-evolution handling, and drove a ~10x SQL performance improvement while owning incident response via CloudWatch.”

“Player-coach engineer/leader with experience at Twist Bioscience and Series B startup Vida Health, owning high-impact platform work across frontend and backend. Delivered a large-scale permissions migration to Okta affecting ~100,000 users and led reliability/process improvements (weekly releases, dedicated QA/dev environments, incident response with RCA) in high-growth environments.”

“Embedded/robotics software engineer with Hyundai Motors experience who owned an AI-driven perception validation pipeline using a Transformer-based approach to generate stable synthetic in-cabin audio for autonomy/ASR testing, cutting downstream testing time by 50%+. Has hands-on ROS integration (IMU sensor streaming, inference, control nodes), MQTT-based distributed messaging, and cloud/container deployment experience (Docker, Node/Express, AWS, CI/CD).”

“Backend engineer who helped redesign and refactor Forma’s backend during an app rewrite, emphasizing modularity, maintainability, and A/B testing support while delivering feature parity on a quarter-long timeline. Led a careful database migration using parallel databases with schema differences, validating integrity via staging and SQL checks, and has experience debugging subtle computer-vision overflow edge cases.”

“Solutions/implementation-focused engineer with payments expertise (Adyen headless Magento integrations, 3DS components) who also builds and troubleshoots agentic LLM workflows using the OpenAI Agents SDK. Experienced in pre-sales technical validation and in tailoring live demos/workshops—e.g., pivoted a Quantum Metric workshop from custom JavaScript instrumentation to no-code analytics based on audience needs.”

“Meta engineer who improved a critical revenue estimation dataset pipeline that was arriving ~6 days late—diagnosed via raw logs/lineage, redesigned legacy scans to only process the needed window, and shipped validation plus freshness/lag dashboards. Delivered ~50% latency reduction (to ~3 days) and regained adoption by running old/new pipelines in parallel with gated cutover and evidence-based customer communication. Applies incident-response rigor to real-time LLM/agentic workflow debugging and regularly runs developer demos/workshops.”
