Senior🎓
Top SchoolJohn Gilmer is a Staff Software Engineer with 13 years of experience building data-driven, distributed systems and internal tooling across companies from research labs to production at scale. He blends backend microservices (Kotlin/Java), orchestration (Airflow, Kubernetes), and data engineering (Spark, Kinesis, Redshift, data lakes) with a research background in NLP and knowledge graphs. At Argo AI he sped API delivery from weeks to days via a generic gRPC framework, and at Diffbot he architected large-scale knowledge graph pipelines and low–false-positive record linking over hundreds of millions of entities. Based in Austin, he pairs practical infrastructure automation (Terraform, Docker) with hands-on ML/IE experience, making him effective at bridging research prototypes and production systems. His career shows a pattern of accelerating delivery through reusable frameworks and observability-driven pipelines, informed by a Master’s in Computational Linguistics and contributions on Stack Overflow.
