SEEKING WORK | Valencia, Spain | Remote only

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)

I'm a design engineer who ships AI products end-to-end — not a pure UX person, not a pure ML/LLM-infra person, the Venn in the middle. I do the prompt architecture, the schema, the auth, the React, the launch copy, and the post-mortem.

For the last year I've solo-built ReGild (https://www.regild.ai), an AI persona platform live in production. Receipts:

- 27-layer prompt architecture ("Layer Cake") — static/semi-static/dynamic tiers ordered for prompt-cache hit rates, with a frozen template and a pre-LLM parallel pipeline (~22 ops fanning out after the anchor gate).

- Zero-knowledge-at-rest. AES-GCM with per-user DEKs and versioned KEKs. BYOK vault for third-party API keys.

- 8-model persona safety audit before picking defaults — rejected 6, accepted 2. Includes a documented red-team writeup of a major model that would happily roleplay as a real, named person without consent (hard fail).

- Agentic memory: per-topic semantic districts synthesized from episodic moments on cron, pgvector + Voyage 3, with persona-directed search tools the model invokes itself.

- Voice synthesis with emotion. Main brain emits tone hints inline, a small model normalizes them, ElevenLabs renders. The tags survive cache invalidation.

- 7-agent autonomous marketing pipeline on cron (Research → Strategist → Creator → QC → Scorer → Publisher → Analytics). I'm the creative director; the system does the rest.

Background: 15 years as a cinematographer (History Channel, Coca-Cola, Ford, Home Depot, music videos) before pivoting to AI engineering in 2025. That's why my products tend to feel composed instead of assembled. Full story: https://regild.ai/blog/origin-story.

Available 10-15 hrs/week fractional. $150-200/hr or $5-7K/mo retainer. Happiest on prompt architecture, agentic systems, memory/RAG design, or 0→1 product surfaces where the seams between AI and UI actually matter.

Location: San Francisco, CA

Remote: In-person preferred, remote willing

Willing to relocate: Would relocate for the right opportunity

I'm a data scientist and SWE. At Clerk I build features end-to-end and the analytics pipelines that track how they perform. Recently built women's health app for cycle/fertility tracking. Also working on a family of Claude skills to help with education and learning large bodies of new information.

Equally happy in product/ops discussions, designing A/B tests, or standing up the service that puts a model in front of users. Strong fit: a forward-deployed role where I sit close to the customer and own the problem from ideation to data to deployment.

I am a 2026 CS graduate and AWS Academy Graduate specializing in backend development and cloud infrastructure. I build secure APIs and automated deployment pipelines, and I am looking for a full-time software engineering role or internship to kickstart my career.

Recent Work:

* AWS EKS Pipeline: Containerized a Python app and deployed it to AWS EKS with zero-downtime rolling updates via GitHub Actions.

* Live Cricket WinPulse: Built a real-time Django dashboard with a custom algorithm for dynamic ball-by-ball win probabilities.

* Multimodal GenAI: Implemented an application that translates complex text prompts into architectural narratives and visual prototypes.
