Location: US Remote: Preferred Willing to relocate: Possibly FT?: Open to FTE for right opportunity, but prefer contracts (PT/FT flexible) Technologies: Ruby/Rails, Python, Ops (Heroku/AWS/Docker), CI/CD, API Design, System Architecture, thoughtful experimentation with llm ops and visibility and steering. Some: React, IoT, bit of elm, ML Email: [email protected] Website: https://ericstiens.dev Resume: https://cloud.wonderluxhouse.xyz/f/fd98d4cbdc104e3d8151/ Senior/Staff Engineer with a deep focus on backend, ops, and architecture. Can also get in there and knock out frontend features if nec, but don't prefer leading there. I build durable, scalable systems and have a knack for mentoring teams and leading projects. I solve problems at every level of abstraction—from the 10,000-foot view down to the code you don't have to write. My first career as a social worker and policy statistician means I never forget the 'who' and 'why' behind the technology. I've been building for the web since '95 and have worked at every stage of startup, plus solo consulting. I have a special love for complex system design, wrangling crappy third-party APIs, and hunting down really weird bugs. I can step in as a PM in a pinch, but I'd rather work with your great PMs. Also open to short-term engagements around a specific issue (performance bottlenecks, test suite optimization, a particular stuck feature, etc) at a weekly rate. I'm looking for a team that genuinely believes their work is making the world a bit better (or even... a lot!)
