Open to remote Staff / Principal / Lead roles

Ayush Soni

Senior Backend Engineer — Platform & AI Infrastructure

I've spent 10+ years building distributed systems that serve millions of users across e-commerce, travel, and AI/ML products. I love taking monoliths apart, designing resilient services, and building self-serve platforms that remove bottlenecks for entire teams. Early adopter of AI-assisted engineering — Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, and MCP servers are part of my daily workflow.

Building something interesting?

I'm open to remote Staff, Principal, Lead, or Architect roles at companies building at real scale — platforms, infrastructure, or AI-native products. Happy to work with any timezone.
