Remote: Yes. PST timezone preferred.
Willing to relocate: No, but open to occasional travel to an office within reason.
Technologies: Lots. If it has a manual or documentation, I'm happy to learn it. If it doesn't, I'll read the source. See résumé for a more complete but not exhaustive list. Most of my language experience has been with Javascript and Golang, but I've used Python, Java and Lua professionally and Lisp and Haskell for fun. I would most prefer to work with Golang but open to using any language I've used or learning other languages. My strongest skillsets revolve around making highly distributed systems highly reliable and fast (millions of requests per second across thousands of machines across multiple datacenters globally). I'm an expert in software testing and CI/CD. I am mostly a back-end engineer, but I'm not a stranger to front-end work.

I most recently spent just shy of 10 years at Uber (2014 to 2024) before taking a sabbatical for personal pursuits and I'm now looking to get back to work. I was a staff software engineer at Uber before I left. While at Uber, I worked on some of the largest, most complex stateful systems/services. Prior to Uber, I worked at a started from the seed round through series B. I'm no stranger to any size environment from a small startup all the way through a large mature corporation and everything in between. I'm open to consider companies of all sizes, but my preference is a company at series B or later that has product/market fit and is looking to scale the business, improve reliability and implement best practices.
