Backend/full-stack engineer at an edtech serving 15M students. Built the OCR pipeline processing 10M answer sheets bi-monthly (the company's core revenue product), data pipelines at 100–200K records/day, and LLM/RAG systems in production. On the side I build and ship complete products solo — commitposts.com (AI changelogs: GitHub → changelog page, emails, in-app widget) and clubmint.app. Looking for a remote role at a startup where I can own things end to end.

Location: Oakland, CA

Remote: Exclusively

Willing to relocate: No

Technologies: Rust, Axum, Ruby, Ruby on Rails, TypeScript/JavaScript, Node.js, PostgreSQL, Python, Flask, AWS, Docker, Kubernetes

Résumé: Please email for details

Email: jimmy@jimmycuadra.com

I was laid off by Cisco Meraki last summer, where I spent four years as a technical lead for the cloud side of the wireless products. I have experience in both web development and cloud infrastructure roles.

I have worked for years in open source software development. I created and ran two notable open source projects: Lita, a ChatOps framework for Ruby (https://github.com/litaio/lita) which is used by many companies for automating internal operations and workflows, and Ruma, an implementation of the Matrix protocol in Rust (https://ruma.dev/) which went on to become the basis for the official Rust SDK for Matrix.

My ideal role would be building software targeting other developers, either as a member of a developer tools team, or for a company whose products are made for developers. I'm also drawn to companies building "neutral" utilities whose value is fairly self-evident: Things like PagerDuty and Stripe which are generally useful and provide the infrastructure needed for other things to work.

I would love to use Rust professionally, but I'm fine with other languages, too. I'd also be very happy to work on a product with an amount of open source code, given my background working on OSS projects.

Who I Am: Full-Stack SWE who has proven experience taking a company from a one-person operation to multi-million dollar deals. I'm here for the entire ride, including initial development, product direction, funding, outreach, and scale.

What Makes Me Special: I've got the technical skills, people skills, and industry knowledge that differentiate a successful startup founder from a run-of-the-mill programmer. I love getting to represent my company at conferences, during demos, and in cold outreach, then coming home to grind bug fixes and feature implementations until the sun comes up. I've got the tenacity and dedication your team needs.

Who You Are: A startup in any stage from pre-seed to scale that has a killer product and needs a dedicated technical founder. You have a tight knit team that values one another and helps each another where needed. You're humble, confident, and don't need to one-up each other for the sake of ego. "Don't be evil" and putting people over profit are core tenets of your business model.

Location: Chicago, Illinois

Remote: Yes (In-Person or Hybrid are even better)

Willing to relocate: Yes (But you'd have to convince me your opportunity is worth leaving the Windy City ;) )

Technologies: C#, Python, Java, C, .NET, JavaScript, SQL, Google Cloud, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning, Large-Language Models (LLMs), Server Backend, Infrastructure Security, PyTorch, Ollama, Firmware, ARM Assembly, Prototyping, Digital Logic, SystemVerilog, Unity, Virtual Reality, Game Development
