Senior Software Engineer · Python (FastAPI/Django) · AWS · GenAI/RAG · Open to remote (USD, US/EU overlap)
I build production Python backends on AWS and integrate LLMs (OpenAI, LangChain, RAG) into reliable APIs used by real products. I focus on architecture, maintainability, and delivery: auth, data modeling, observability, CI/CD, and calm production debugging.
