I’m a Senior DevOps / Platform Engineer with about 8 years focused on infrastructure, and a 15 year background in PHP before that. I’ve spent time on both the application and infrastructure sides of production systems, which helps when debugging or designing changes. Over the years I’ve moved deeper into cloud infrastructure, CI/CD, and reliability work — mostly trying to eliminate recurring failure points instead of layering on quick fixes. I care a lot about long-term system health and building platforms that stay stable as they grow.

Location: Norrköping / Stockholm, Sweden (CET)

Remote: Yes (EU/UK preferred); hybrid Stockholm OK

Willing to relocate: No

Senior frontend/product engineer focused on high-performance, tool-like interfaces for expert users. Strong on component architecture, accessibility, profiling-driven performance, and the “last 10%” polish (latency, UX sharpness, reliability) that keeps teams out of refactor holes. Comfortable owning frontend architecture end-to-end in small, high-agency teams; background includes realtime/concurrent UI systems and long-lived products where correctness matters. AI-assisted workflow when useful, gated by small diffs and tests so speed compounds rather than creating debt.

GitHub: https://github.com/Przemek2122

I’m a C++ Software Engineer with 5 years of experience in the Gamedev industry, transitioning into high-performance backend, systems engineering, or HFT. I specialize in creating software where every microsecond matters.

To showcase my networking and architecture skills, I built and maintain a full-stack C++ communicator from scratch (comm.sqrll.net).

I'm looking for a team where performance is a core feature, not an afterthought, and where GitHub contributions speak louder than ATS keywords.

I've been tinkering with computers for 20 years now, working for the last 9, building a variety of side-projects & prototypes; most recently a binary data-format using gradual typing and writing a wiki focused on voxels. My focus lies mostly around compilers/DSLs, graphics and web-technology.

The current job/contract of creating an "Welding-Assembly Process-Tracking, Reconstruction and Reporting"-System (using C#/Typescript/PostgreSQL) is nearing completion (~1.5 months), so I'm looking for new/interesting opportunities... excluding AI/LLM related things.

I'm a DevOps/SRE/Platform engineer. 10 years experience including private equity firms (HFT and prop trading).

Location:

Belfast, Northern Ireland Dual citizenship with Ireland & UK

Remote:

Any, full remote, hybrid or in office.

Willing to relocate:

Within reason, have mother in hospital so no more than a cheap, regular flight away - unless travel is irregular, then anywhere works.

Technologies:

Script in bash, python and if necessary groovy. Picking up Golang.

Worked with bare metal including data centre creation, hybrid cloud and mainly AWS with Azure and Alibaba exposure.

I prefer ansible for my IaC but I have experience with puppet, saltstack & Terraform for cloud provisioning

DBs I'm no stranger to InfluxDB or even KDB+ but I'm no DBA and main proficiency is with Postgres. Splunk including proper querying to a standard Quants were happy with. Elastic, can use, have experience, less fun to work with.

JIRA and confluence, heavy on the plugin side of things but anyone can design and manage those properly.

Monitoring wise check_mk, zabbix, datadog all experienced with to the point of monitoring HFT applications and hardware like custom NICs/FPGAs due to the race to zero.
