Hello! I'm Rachel, a Full-Stack Software Engineer with multiple years of experience in JavaScript, TypeScript, Ruby, and Python. I recently co-created Pendulum (https://www.pendulum-baas.dev/), a reactive Backend-as-a-Service for web applications. I also recently did freelance work incorporating AI agents into Intelliflo Office for a wealth management firm, and am looking for my next permanent role.

Location: USA

Remote: Preferred

Willing to relocate: Maybe

Expert backend developer primarily focused on data engineering, mission critical/low latency/highly available systems, and AWS (certs: https://www.credly.com/users/jon-north.ad78f0c8). Happy to deal with greenfield or legacy or any mix of the two. I learn new things extremely quickly.

I prefer long term contract work, though I’ll help you with smaller things as well. W2 employment is a possibility if the fit is right. Whatever you’re doing with AI is also fine by me, and I’ll lead/adapt as appropriate.

Technologies: Python, C/C#/C++, SQL, NoSQL, Go, Golang, Docker, Git, Linux/Windows, Bash, Kafka, Redpanda, PySpark, Spark, AWS, Azure, GCP, Terraform, Kubernetes, Redis, Postgres, MySQL, SQL Server, SAP HANA, LDAP, Active Directory, OAuth2

Location: Southern CA | Remote: Yes, remote only | Willing to relocate: No

Technologies: Kubernetes, Terraform, AWS, Go, Python, Docker, Helm, Argo, Kong, Prometheus, VictoriaMetrics, Vector, Quickwit

Resume/CV: [available on request]

Email: open4work2026@gmail.com (want to keep it anonymous because coworkers are on HN)

24 years in infrastructure, currently Lead Platform Engineer at a security AI startup where I built the platform team from scratch (0 to 5 engineers) and architected multi-tenant Kubernetes infrastructure across 40+ clusters with per-tenant KMS encryption and Argo-based progressive delivery.

Before that, spent nearly 6 years as Staff SRE at Iterable where most of my work centered on making infrastructure cheaper and more reliable. Replaced ELK with Quickwit for 65TB/day log ingestion (saved $1.2M/year), migrated Lambda pipelines to Vector ($60k/mo down to $8k/mo), and stood up VictoriaMetrics to replace Datadog for 33M metrics ($30k/mo savings). I tend to find the project that saves the most money and then actually build it.

I write Go -- built Kubernetes operators for RabbitMQ, Redis, and Vector (open source: github.com/zcentric/vector-operator). Terraform is my IaC of choice and I've used it everywhere from a global Predix platform (Japan, EU regions) to scaling Kubernetes clusters from 10 to 300 nodes on spot instances for satellite image processing at Urthecast.

I've managed teams at three companies (up to 6 engineers) and served as product owner for SRE groups, but I'm open to both IC and management roles at the Staff/Principal/Director level.

Looking for: DevOps, SRE, Platform Engineering, or Cloud Infrastructure roles. $200K+ total comp. Remote only, US-based.

Backend engineer with ~7 years in Go and Python. Most of my work is backend systems: APIs, payments, streaming, the plumbing that has to hold up. I have a soft spot for perf-centric development

Most of what I've built recently is open source. The one with real users is decypharr, a media gateway that streams files over a FUSE layer, where I've done deep work on goroutine leaks, lock contention, and caching. I also build a handful of smaller Go tools, from a multi-protocol file server to a protobuf schema registry, all on my GitHub.

Location: Cincinnati, OH

Remote: Yes, remote or Cincinnati area only

Willing to Relocate: No

Technologies: LLMs/MCP development (recently for game development and developer support automation), Go, Python, Java, Typescript, Distributed systems, game development in Unity and Godot

Other skills: Developer education, partner engineering/FDE, solutions engineering

Resume: https://gabethebando.cc/resume

Email: g.albacarys@gmail.com

Jack-of-all-trades software engineer with ~10 years experience, focusing on developer experience, working on game platforms such as Netflix's cloud games stack and Niantic's real world platform. I love game development, and am passionate about helping partners succeed by helping connect them with the right resources and blazing a path forward where one didn't exist before. I'm looking for either a developer tools-focused SWE role or a Partner Engineering/Forward Deployed Engineer role. I'm also interested in jumping into engineering management; I've had significant informal management experience and would like to translate that into a full-time move into EM work.

I'm unable to relocate due to family obligations but have no issues with travel. Thanks in advance!

Location: Addis Ababa, Ethiopia | Remote only Willing to relocate: No Technologies: Python, FastAPI, Next.js, React, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, Pydantic, MongoDB, Supabase, Gemini API, Framer Motion, Vercel, Railway Resume/CV: https://www.linkedin.com/in/fraol-ashebir-218b89239/

I build AI-powered web products with typed, auditable backends. Open to remote contract or full-time work.

Veris — GitHub PR analysis tool that classifies risk and surfaces a structured merge recommendation with evidence. GitHub App ingests PRs via webhooks; diffs go to an LLM through OpenRouter; output is schema-validated before it's ever shown to a user, not rendered directly. Can reliably check structural consistency, but treats true intent verification (did the PR solve the actual task) as an open problem rather than faking it. MVP, live: veris-roan.vercel.app

Briefr — AI research agent, cited reports in seconds. Citations pulled from grounding metadata, not generated by the model. Live: briefr-ai.vercel.app

AppealMD — turns dental insurance denials into payer-specific appeal letters in under 30s. 3-step pipeline (classify → match rule → generate), Pydantic validation at every stage. No PHI stored. Live: getappealmd.vercel.app

I avoid abstractions I can't audit. I make product decisions, not just implementation decisions.
