Staff-level product engineer, 15 years in startups — frontend-deep, full-stack current. For the last 8 months I've been turning designs into a living product at https://jest.com — everything you see and tap there, plus the backend behind it: the real-time chat system, unified Stripe checkout, passkey auth, and the PWA layer that makes it feel native (213 production PRs, if you want it in numbers). I work agent-first with Claude Code, kept honest with end-to-end types and tests. Before that: sole frontend engineer on a real-time collaboration platform (Vue 3 + Electron, typed WebSockets from OpenAPI schemas), and staff frontend at V7, where I built the virtualized 100k-row table at the heart of V7 Go. 20k+ Stack Overflow reputation.

Looking for: senior/staff product engineering at a company that hires in the EU. Backend in TypeScript or C# preferred; I like owning features end to end and measuring whether they worked.

  Location: Europe / Andorra  
  Remote: Yes  
  Willing to relocate: No  
  Technologies: Java, C#, C++, Clojure, PostgreSQL, Oracle, Docker, AWS, gRPC, and a lot more.

I am a recent MS Computer Engineering grad (SJSU, May 2026) looking for infrastructure, platform, or AI systems engineering roles. At Syngenta I scaled AWS infrastructure across 100+ accounts, built reusable Terraform modules now used by 50+ teams, and drove roughly $500K in annual cost savings through resource optimization. At State Street I built a RAG-based internal AI system on Confluence data and Terraform automation tooling that cut manual deployment effort by 60%. I like owning systems end to end, from design to production, especially where reliability and performance have real consequences. Happy to work onsite, hybrid, or remote.

I've been at this for over 15 years now, been the first employee at a startup and now at FANAG, and I'm looking to partially swap track, ideally I'd love to work on biological cell simulation but I'm not sure any company would pay me for that, so instead I'm hoping to work on genomics software and learn more about that side of things.

If you have a role that could fit, let's chat.
