Location: Montreal

Remote: Yes

Willing to relocate: No

Technologies: AWS, GCP, TLA+, Linux, Python, Go, Haskell

CV: Available upon request

Email: clavoie _at_ sandreckoning _dot_ com

Focus: high-stakes engineering where failure is not an option. Core work: rescuing stalled or non-functional AI/ML projects; sourcing and vetting qualified engineers, drawing on years of hiring the best talent and over a thousand interviews; and applying formal methods to build systems whose correctness is provable rather than hoped for.

Engineering Leadership / AI Developer Tooling / Platform

Location: Salt Lake City, UT Remote: Preferred Willing to relocate: Yes Technologies: Python, TypeScript, React, Django, Node.js, Kubernetes, Docker, Terraform, AWS, GCP, PostgreSQL, ClickHouse, Airflow, ETL, vector databases, FAISS, llama.cpp, vLLM, local inference, some rust Résumé/CV: https://opertus.systems Email: mark@opertus.systems

Engineering leader with 12+ years building products, infrastructure, and teams, from early-stage startups to systems serving millions of users.

I’m useful when product goals, infrastructure, and team structure are out of sync: stabilizing systems, improving developer experience, reducing manual operations, and helping teams ship without adding unnecessary process.

Recently I’ve been focused on practical AI-assisted development: coding agents, developer tooling, custom harnesses, retrieval, local inference, repo-local context, and the workflow changes needed to make these tools reliable enough for real engineering teams. I’m interested in AI that improves maintainability, feedback loops, and operational leverage, not just code volume.

Previously at Calm, YC-backed startups, and nonprofit technology organizations; now consulting through Opertus Systems. I’ve helped organizations modernize infrastructure, improve engineering velocity, scale teams, and ship AI-powered systems that hold up in production.

Looking for: Engineering Leadership, Platform/Infrastructure/DevEx, AI Developer Tooling, Technical Product Leadership, Fractional CTO/advisory work.

Senior data/platform engineer, around 5 years of experience.

I build data systems where the output has to be trusted. Recent work includes validation frameworks for EU regulatory reporting at ESMA, Spark/Databricks pipelines for logistics use cases for SHV Energy, ESG reporting for KPMG, healthcare migration/data quality work around openEHR, and BigQuery/Airflow pipelines for logistics analytics.

I’m strongest in messy-source-data problems: ETL/ELT, data quality, warehouse/lakehouse modeling, pipeline reliability, cloud data platforms, and making analytical systems debuggable by people who were not there when they were built.

Looking for: data engineering, data platform, backend/data infrastructure, analytics engineering with real engineering depth, machine learning/data-heavy DS roles, ML/LLM infrastructure, or small technical teams building data products.

Available immediately.

I'm a Platform Engineer / DevOps Engineer / Site Reliability Engineer with 6+ years of experience building secure, scalable, and cost-efficient cloud infrastructure on AWS and GCP. My work has focused on Kubernetes platforms, Infrastructure as Code, CI/CD, observability, cloud security, and cost optimization across fintech, SaaS, retail, logistics, and enterprise environments.

I'm currently a Systems Engineer at MelodyArc, working on the Home Depot account, where I build and manage enterprise Kubernetes platforms on GCP. My work includes CI/CD pipelines, ingress, DNS, infrastructure automation, and supporting production workloads running at scale.

Previously at Furlenco, I led the DevOps and Data Engineering platform supporting around 80 engineers. Some of the work I'm most proud of includes reducing AWS infrastructure costs from approximately $20K/month to $11K/month, automating infrastructure with Terraform and Helm, implementing IAM database authentication, introducing HashiCorp Vault, and improving deployment reliability across production environments.

Before that, at One2N, I worked as a Site Reliability Engineer focused on platform engineering. I built internal developer platforms using Terraform and Atlantis, migrated observability from Datadog to Grafana and Loki, optimized GCP infrastructure costs by approximately 15%, reduced Airflow infrastructure costs by over $10K annually, and helped recover and stabilize production Kubernetes clusters during critical incidents.

Outside my day job, I'm an AWS Subject Matter Expert (Item Writer & Reviewer) contributing to AWS Certification development. I also completed all 12 AWS Certifications in just 44 days and regularly contribute technical reviews and exam content for AWS Training & Certification.

The thread connecting everything I do is simple: I enjoy taking infrastructure that's expensive, fragile, or difficult to operate and turning it into platforms that are automated, observable, secure, reliable, and boring to run.

I'm primarily looking for Senior Platform Engineering, DevOps, SRE, Cloud Architecture, or Solutions Architecture roles with globally distributed teams.
