Senior🎓
Top SchoolJohn Mcguirk is a senior software engineer with 11 years of experience building cloud-native systems and serverless architectures, currently at Procore Technologies in Austin. He has a strong backend focus—particularly Node.js, Java, DynamoDB, SQS—and a track record of turning costly legacy services into efficient, fault-tolerant microservices that saved companies tens of thousands monthly. At OneDay he architected an AWS-hosted microservice platform and improved onboarding by integrating Salesforce and Resman CRMs, and at Bazaarvoice he built APIs and pub/sub patterns that materially reduced operational toil. Comfortable across the full stack, he also upgraded media processing pipelines with FFmpeg-based fault tolerance and smart retry logic to improve resilience. A pragmatic engineer with a background spanning QA to release management, he brings both operational rigor and product-minded delivery to distributed systems. Based in Austin, he blends startup agility with enterprise-scale impact and a knack for shipping measurable cost and reliability improvements.
