William Selbie is a Lead Backend Engineer based in Seattle with a decade of experience building reliable services and cloud infrastructure across startups and large enterprises. He has moved rapidly from SDE I/II at Amazon—where he maintained Java/Python services and AWS infrastructure for recommendation systems—to senior and lead backend roles at companies like Ponto, Agrippa, and Henry Meds. His strengths lie in backend architecture, operational reliability (including on-call experience), and automating routine processes to improve team productivity. Comfortable across Python, Java, shell scripting, and cloud platforms, he combines pragmatic engineering with a strong focus on improving people’s lives through technology. An Oregon State CS graduate, he brings a mix of enterprise-scale rigor and startup velocity, often stepping into roles that require both hands-on coding and systems ownership.
