SEEKING WORK – Remote, limited on-site (US, Seattle)
Backend/systems engineer
Experience with large distributed systems (dev on EMR/Data Pipeline/Kinesis teams at AWS)
Experience with production search systems (dev on Windows Search Engine team at Microsoft)
Good knowledge of space-efficient data structures (compact hash tables, Bloom filter variants, sketches, etc.)
Good knowledge of distributed algorithms (Paxos, ABD, etc.)
I think I can be especially helpful designing/implementing data architectures on top of AWS, since I am familiar with their systems both as a customer and as an internal developer.
If you operate Web services at high scale, I would like to discuss funding for my current project to add self-tuning overload protection and latency/throughput/fairness optimization to Web servers (using techniques from network congestion control, adaptive control theory, and queuing theory).
