Location: Porto, Portugal

Remote: Yes; occasional office visits

Willing to relocate: No

Technologies: Node.js, TypeScript, GraphQL, REST, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, ClickHouse, Kafka, Redis, AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, OpenTelemetry, Vue.js, React

Résumé/CV: https://thaler.dev/thaler.cv.pdf

Email: [email protected]

Senior full-stack engineer with a backend focus and 15+ years of experience. Most of my work is at the integration layer: bringing awkward external systems together behind GraphQL and REST APIs that product teams can rely on. This has included payment gateways and government services at a national lottery, multi-protocol network telemetry, and retail planning systems processing billions of sales and inventory records.

I take ownership beyond the application code, including infrastructure, deployment, and observability. I care about keeping systems reliable and cloud costs under control.

EU-based B2B contractor; no sponsorship required. Experienced working remotely with US companies via Deel and Globalization Partners. Available with 7 days’ notice.

Full-stack engineer with a backend focus and 15+ years of experience. Most of my work is at the integration layer: pulling a dozen awkward external systems into one GraphQL or REST API that a product team can rely on. This has included payment gateways and government services at a national lottery, multi-protocol network telemetry, and billions of retail sales and inventory rows.

I own the infrastructure under what I build. On one route-planning system, that meant dynamic scaling that spun up short-lived machines at peak while keeping the cloud bill flat.
