Hi, I’m Andrew Diamond. I’ve been a professional Software engineer for 8 years, and I’m looking for an opportunity to have more impact with my career.

I currently work at Amazon AWS S3 (not laid off). I build, evolve, and support S3 CopyObject and other Object level APIs. If you’re on this forum, I don’t need to tell you these are some of the highest load systems in the entire world.

I’m an experienced distributed systems engineer with a career that has had me working on just about every aspect of building and delivering web based software. I am obsessed with business and making great business decisions in tandem with technical ones.

I am an excellent communicator and have been a mentor to about 6 other engineers over my career. I really enjoy bringing people together to align on a goal.

I’m looking for a place where I can have more actual, tangible impact on the world. I want a team I can lead into greatness with a product I believe in and am excited for.

Remote: No

Willing to relocate: Yes

Technologies: Nmap, Wireshark, Burp, Hydra, BeEF, John the Ripper, metasploit, sqlmap, nikto (anything in the kali linux toolchest); scripting with pyhton and bash

tl;dr deeply versatile eng manager with a broad+deep technical background and startup experience

I'd love to find a position either as an engineering manager or a senior engineer on a team that can be remote or hybrid in Denver. I enjoy building things, but I actually really enjoy and I’m good at the organizational and leadership aspects of work - my past cofounders can attest to this. I'm happy to build some stuff on the way there if that's what a company needs.

I have software engineering experience all the way up and down the stack, in multiple languages (primarily Python) and on multiple cloud providers, and across a lot of different fields and weird edge cases between software, hardware, manufacturing, machine learning, and so on. I was a mechie before I was a software engineer, and I've been a lot of flavors of software engineer.

I've also started companies, been an Artist in Residence at GitHub (for the Arctic Code Vault), done operational consulting for one of Outside magazine's Best Companies to Work For, and in general my resume is peppered with unconventional cross-functional projects and skillsets and leadership roles. I navigate ambiguity skillfully, learn fast, communicate effectiely, and generally have great EQ and nonlinear/network effects.

I'm prioritizing good work relationships, culture of healthy work-life balance, comp over equity (I just got out of an all-consuming startup and need to rebalance) - I'm open to something at a larger company if the fit is right.
