Stephen Goss is a Senior Full Stack Engineer based in Portland, Oregon with 15 years building backend services and distributed systems across industries from telecom and healthcare to gaming and motion picture. He is a true polyglot—comfortable shipping production services in Go, Scala, Java, Python and many more languages—and has deep experience with Kafka, RabbitMQ, Kubernetes, AWS, and both OLTP and big-data stores like Postgres, HBase and BigTable. Stephen’s career includes high-throughput platforms (Airship’s multi-billion-message systems), real-time customer-facing services, RBAC and notification systems, and a penchant for pragmatic tooling and automation. He prefers fully remote or local roles, works primarily on Linux, and values sustainable workloads where extreme overtime is the exception. Colleagues rely on him for operational support and on-call reliability as much as for design and implementation. An English BA by training, he brings clear communication and a long curiosity for exploring new languages and architectures.
