José Betancourt is a Level 3 Software Engineer based in Santiago with 11 years of engineering experience and 8+ years building production-grade web applications using Ruby on Rails, Python, and modern JavaScript frameworks. He has designed and operated microservice architectures on AWS and Kubernetes, shipping both heavyweight Django services and lightweight FastAPI lambdas, and has hands-on experience with gRPC, Kafka, EKS, SNS/SQS and DynamoDB. At Buk he helped create an internal Ruby DSL and reusable Rails patterns that reduced repetitive UI code and pushed filtering/pagination down to the database for performance at scale. He blends backend and infrastructure expertise with pragmatic frontend work—using React, Intercooler.js and server-rendered strategies—to keep complexity low while improving developer productivity. José also has a history of mentoring and documentation, driving adoption of internal tools and design-system alignment across teams. Curious by nature, he pairs engineering rigor and high test coverage with a focus on accessible, maintainable product experiences.
