Post by ryneandal »

Senior software engineer and independent consultant (15+ yrs), currently based in Valencia, Spain (CET). I do primarily backend work in Python (Django/FastAPI/Flask) and PHP (Laravel/Drupal), API development and consumption, data pipeline work, and AI integration features (RAG, LangChain/LangGraph, vector DBs). Strong infra/ops chops (Docker, CI/CD, Kubernetes, Linux), comfortable owning projects end-to-end and mentoring.

Remote-first, with a reliable 4-hour daily overlap with US business hours; invoicing/tax admin handled on my side. Work authorization in US (SS/EIN) and Spain (NIE). Note: Spanish availability is limited due to DNV limitations of no more than 20% revenue sourced from Spanish companies.

Location: Valencia, Spain

Remote: Yes

Willing to relocate: No

Technologies: Python (FastAPI, Langchain, LangGraph, Django), PHP (Laravel, Drupal)

Location: Romania

Remote: Only. Have done it for most of my career, have home office and not kitchen table, can work async, used to time zone differences etc etc.

Willing to relocate: Not on the first date.

Technologies: C++, Python, Yocto, windows native, Qt, iot stuff, arm linux, all those buses like i2c, spi, serial, Android, Couchdb.

Résumé/CV: Linkedin link in profile, or same user as here.

Email: Description in profile.

General use developer/architect/lead for those keywords above or other keywords.

Used to working independently, architecturizing and/or coordinating tiny teams.

Have carried a lot of customer's bits from wherever they were generated to wherever they were needed. Either just talking to sensors or doing the whole chain, daemons and GUIs if the project required them.

Have done software archaeology on mature code bases and fixed/improved them. As a matter of fact that's what I'm doing now, bringing an old native windows application to the 21st century.

Not necessarily looking for full time employment, if someone just wants to get to know people via part time / fixed duration projects, that would be just fine(tm). Especially if they're a smaller organization, i might do better in one of those.

Location: Pakistan (Remote only) Remote: Yes Willing to relocate: No Technologies: [React, Node.js, Python, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Mongodb, AWS] Email: sarab198ali@gmail.com

I'm a full-stack developer with 3 years of experience building web apps and SaaS products. I've worked with early-stage startups and solo founders to take ideas from zero to a working product.

I'm comfortable owning entire features end-to-end — from architecture decisions to deployment. I communicate clearly, work async, and don't disappear.

Looking for: freelance contracts or part-time engagements with founders who need a reliable technical partner, not just someone to push code.

Now I want a research engineer or applied scientist role working on LLM evaluation and efficient training. Available from July 1st.

Post by Backslasher »

Location: Israel

Remote: Yes (EU hours, async with US)

Willing to relocate: No

Technologies: AWS, GCP, Kubernetes, Terraform, Java, Python, Go, Postgres, infra and backend generally

Résumé/CV: https://blog.backslasher.net/about/

Email: jobs@backslasher.net

I'm an independent software architect. Companies bring me in for the painful infra and backend projects their team can't get to without derailing core work, usually migrations, reliability fixes, and cost takeouts.

Recent: AWS to GCP migration saving $5K/month with zero downtime. Cassandra to DynamoDB migration, no downtime. Build times 30min to 3min, success rate 70% to 97%. Once replaced a planned 2-month rewrite with a 6-line diff.

Background: 6 years at Facebook (reliability/performance/security at billion-user scale), then architect at two growth-stage startups. Independent since 2025.

Best fit: growth-stage company with a defined infra-shaped problem and budget to have someone senior own it end-to-end. Probably not the right call for ongoing IC work or pure feature delivery. I work fixed-price when scope is clear, hourly when it isn't.
