  Location: Midwest, USA
  Remote: Yes, preferred.
  Willing to relocate: For the right position and location!
  Technologies: Golang, Zig, Rust, Python, C, SQL, cloud infrastructure, Linux, Docker, observability tools (Prometheus, OpenTelemetry, etc)
  Résumé/CV: https://nickmonad.blog/about - Can provide full details on request.
  Email: my username @pm.me
Experienced engineer interested in all things deployment infrastructure, systems programming, observability, performance analysis, and advanced testing methods. I would be particularly interested in positions that involve systems programming (preferably with Zig!) and would welcome the chance to build out advanced testing infrastructure (fuzzing, deterministic simulation, etc). I have a lot of experience with cloud deployment infrastructure and love making complicated processes understandable, reliable, and repeatable. Most recently I've spent the past 2 years scaling out a complex BYOC/self-hosted deployment, building automation for packaging and verification. If you've got problems to solve at any intersection of the areas above, happy to chat!

Please note I'm not particularly interested in working on "AI" products marketed as such, nor do I prefer to work on a team where there is a strong expectation to use AI tooling for the majority of output. I'm not opposed to it for testing or initial code review.
