I'm a Full Stack Software Engineer with 2+ years of professional experience, primarily focused on building production web applications with React, Next.js, TypeScript and Node.js. I'm particularly interested in remote full-stack, frontend, React/Next.js, Node.js and AI-enabled engineering roles with product companies and startups.

I'm looking for a long-term opportunity where I can contribute to a strong engineering team and continue growing technically.

Location: Ojai, CA (Los Angeles area)

Remote: Yes (preferred) — or hybrid LA/Irvine

Willing to relocate: No

Technologies: Multi-agent orchestration (LLM agents in production — 79+ agents), Python, TypeScript, GCP/Azure, RAG/vector search, zero-trust architecture, SIEM/SOC operations, SOC2/FedRAMP-adjacent compliance, CI/CD

Seeking: VP / Director / Head of Engineering — AI-agent platforms, security engineering, or the intersection. Currently Founder/CEO of Netrun Systems, where I've shipped a production agent-orchestration platform (Wilbur) and filed 20 patents. Previously Technical Director of Cyber Defense at Amtrak (32M+ annual passengers; ~40% incident reduction) and Microsoft. I'm looking for a platform-scale leadership seat where an operator who has actually run agentic systems in production — and defended critical infrastructure — beats a résumé keyword match. Happy to show working systems rather than talk about them.

Location: Seattle, WA

Remote: Yes (Seattle onsite or hybrid also works)

Willing to relocate: Not at this time.

Technologies: Python, Java, TypeScript, AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, GitHub Actions, PostgreSQL, DynamoDB, Linux, distributed systems, HPC, GPU compute

Senior engineer, 13+ years. Startups, Amazon, Blue Origin, Anduril, defense and robotics autonomy.

I was the key engineer on Blue Origin's company-wide self-service HPC platform, used by programs including BE-4. Before that I spent five years at Amazon on the global Middle Mile platform. At Anduril I led a small team on Dive-XL mission-planning controls. Most recently I built bare-metal GPU CI for robotics autonomy, on hardware that cloud runners cannot touch.

I am seeking senior or staff IC and leadership work. Available now.

Location: SF

Remote: OK

Willing to relocate: No

Technologies: go, python, postgres, ClickHouse, kafka, K8S, and various other things tied to high throughput backend systems. Also have an MSc in stats from LSHTM.

I'm a career backend engineer who's worked most lately as a technical lead/manager delivering reliable, high throughput, containerized job scheduling to enterprise customers. Ex Twilio, Cloudflare, Segment. Looking for a long term opportunity in anything tied to high performance backend services or data infra, be that in a lead, EM, or IC role.

I've done a lot of early stage work and am a generalist at heart, though these days I'm most interested in post series A (including public) companies.

  Location: London, UK
  Remote: Yes (remote preferred; open to one day a week in central London)
  Willing to relocate: No
  Technologies: TypeScript/React, PHP/Laravel, PostgreSQL, React Native/Expo, product design/UX, AI-assisted development

  Seeking: Senior Product Engineer with product design ownership (permanent preferred; open to substantial contract work)

I turn unclear product problems into useful, well-designed software. I talk to customers, turn what I learn into product and technical specs, design the workflows and interface, build the system, then help launch, market, and support it. That breadth is my strongest skill: it keeps the customer problem in view throughout.

At Flowstate, I took a workforce-planning SaaS from blank repo to paid pilot in 10 weeks as sole engineer-designer. I've since owned product design, backend, mobile apps, Stripe Connect payments, AI-assisted listing tools, and infrastructure for a US trading-card marketplace.

I use and evaluate new AI models and coding workflows to make product development faster, while preserving quality through type safety, tests, CI, review, and product judgement.

I'm looking for a team that uses AI coding tools seriously, values strong product design, and keeps product builders close to customers.
