I’m Brad Davis, a senior software engineer and product-focused developer with over a decade of experience building scalable applications, data pipelines, and AI-driven tools. At Ginkgo Bioworks, I led the development of a 5.6 TB genomic and metadata data lake supporting 120+ researchers, integrating AWS and Snowflake to streamline scientific workflows. My work has spanned creating React.js applications for lab teams, implementing machine learning pipelines, and optimizing developer workflows with AI-assisted code generation.

I’ve contributed to open-source AI projects such as RooCode and built my own educational platform, [Snow Day](https://github.com/thecolorblue/snow_day), which generates vocabulary quizzes using LLMs. My career has included both engineering and product management roles, giving me a unique ability to bridge technical and business requirements. I enjoy designing systems that make data more accessible, applications more intuitive, and teams more effective.

Data/Backend engineer for the past ten years (Java, Python, SQL). Experience building data platforms (from scratch!) and ELT pipelines for financial data. Currently working on agentic AI projects, but happy to work at any level for any problem that needs solving. Open to work on product management, solutions architecture, agentic AI or customer engineering. Remote is preferred for time zones spanning Europe to India; onsite/hybrid in Mumbai is also great. Unfortunately cannot relocate.

Location: Boston, MA

Remote: Yes

Willing to relocate: No

Technologies: I'm a product marketing executive and not a developer or admin but have gotten hands-on with vSphere, Azure, AWS, Kubernetes and languages like Python, RoR, Angular, bash, PowerShell

Resume & Email: see profile

Spent 6 years in Marketing at a B2B software startup then another 4 years after that helping integrate the startup after acquisition by large-cap public company. Now I'm looking to get back to a startup and lead/build a product marketing function for folks solving interesting problems. Reach out if you need a tech-savvy marketing leader focused on messaging & positioning, GTM strategy, competitive intelligence, content, and enablement.

Hi! I'm Buck, a software engineer with 6 years of experience building cloud services and enterprise web apps, and I'm looking for my next backend or full-stack role, with an eye towards moving West. At Oracle, I currently work on a serverless function for generating documents (https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/Functions/Tasks/f...), which has been fascinating, as I've gotten to learn the internals of the DOCX and XLSX formats while also using Terraform and custom tooling to deploy and maintain the product in dozens of cloud regions. Before this project, I also worked on the Database Tools Service (https://www.oracle.com/database/tools-service/), a cloud service for creating reusable database connections and executing SQL, helping to integrate with internal platforms, maintain the service, and deploy it to many regions. In general, I'm known for solving problems thoroughly, maintaining high standards in development and reviews, and helping out teammates and customers whenever I see the opportunity. If any of that sounds interesting to you, I would love to hear from you!

Venture-minded Product Lead / Technical Product Manager with 9+ years in SaaS and full-stack development (TypeScript, Angular, React, Next.js, NestJS). Experienced in bridging business and engineering, launching 0→1 products, and integrating AI into real-world workflows. Multilingual communicator (English, Russian, Japanese, German, Czech). Seeking opportunities in async-first, remote teams.

Location: United States

Remote: Open to remote, hybrid, and in person

Willing to relocate: Yes

Technologies: C, C++, Fortran, Java, Message Passing Interface (MPI), Python (Matplotlib, Numpy, Pandas, Scipy), SQL (especially SQLite)

Hi, I'm Andrew Trettel. I'm a scientist with a PhD in mechanical engineering looking for any potential opportunities outside of academia and research labs. I have over a decade of experience in scientific research, especially on the numerical side. I have years of experience in writing software for and running large simulations on high-performance computing (HPC) systems. I have also developed software for non-scientific purposes, like creating user interfaces for desktop applications. I have years of experience working with large datasets, including the tasks of calculating statistics and developing hypotheses/models/theories from data. I've worn many hats over the years and love learning new and interesting topics.

Hello. I am a Senior Backend Engineer with 10+ years building Django-based systems and data pipelines.

At Eclypsium, I designed medallion architectures for normalizing unstructured advisory data at scale, integrated LLMs for extraction workflows, built tooling for AI agent distribution across engineering teams, and automated vendor data ingestion pipelines.

I previously migrated live auth systems with zero downtime and took SaaS products from prototype to production.

I'm seeking a senior backend or data engineering role at a stable, product-focused company. Strong in API design, data modeling, and production AI integration.

I’ve spent more than ten years building and scaling cross‑platform products, from a social app that grew to 1 M users to embedded stacks for quick‑service restaurants. I’ve founded companies, raised venture capital, led engineering teams, and today I ship everything from React Native apps to Rust firmware on single-board computers.

Best at taking things from zero to production and turning chaotic codebases into production-ready, scalable systems. You can see my full work at koray.onl; please reach out if you’d like to learn more.

Location: Menlo Park, CA

Remote: Yes, or possible hybrid if nearby

Willing to relocate: Possibly

Technologies: Python, Ruby, C, C++, C#, JavaScript, TypeScript, PowerShell, Flask, SQL, PostGIS, Shapely, Unity, Unreal Engine, multiple assembly/machine languages, Windows user code and kernel drivers, Google Maps and other map APIs, geographic and airspace data

Hi, I'm Michael Geary. I've programmed in many languages and environments over the years. Some of my current interests are:

• Aviation and geographic data. For example, airspace and obstacle data importers for Wing; election results and voter information maps for Google; many interactive maps for other companies.

• Hardware interfacing. In a way, I am a "full stack" developer, but my stack may involve a front end to a piece of hardware rather than the cloud. I first got into programming via ham radio, so RF hardware remains an interest.

• Designing and building APIs. Too often an API is designed by exposing the internals of whatever system provides the API. My philosophy is the opposite: start with the apps. I like to build a series of sample apps before starting on the API. This way I can imagine what API will make those apps and others like them easy to build.

• Talk with users! I don't like to sit in a back room cranking out code. I want to make sure it's the right code for what my users need, and that it's easy to maintain and improve as we learn more about what they want.

Open to full time or contract.

I look forward to talking with you!

Trying something a bit different here, sorry!

Location: Canada

Remote: Yes

Technologies: C, OpenBSD

I'm looking for monthly/yearly "no-strings" sponsors, not employment, if any individuals (or companies) would like to help a long-time OpenBSD slacker, unslack, I'd really like to focus more of my time on open source development (and advocacy), rather than making rent. Feel free to contact me.
