Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJamie Hunter is a Principal Software Engineer in Seattle with over a decade of experience architecting scalable systems and leading cross-disciplinary technical teams at Amazon and prior roles at NVIDIA and Microsoft. He excels at solving ambiguous, high-impact problems across domains—from kernel and OS-level security (BitLocker, TPM) to cloud IoT services (AWS Greengrass), computer vision, robotics, and embedded/FPGA systems. Known for blending deep systems expertise (drivers, hypervisors, BIOS) with cloud-native architectures, he repeatedly translates low-level constraints into maintainable, production-ready platforms. Jamie mentors engineers, runs technical forums, and drives developer tooling and installation/user experiences that improve quality and usability. Outside core engineering he pursues hands-on hardware and autonomy projects—drones, autonomous boats, and video production—which inform a practical, systems-first perspective. That breadth lets him enter new problem spaces quickly and deliver elegant, architecturally sound solutions.
