@marcossampaio
Senior Software Engineer focused on modern cloud platforms, developer productivity, and reliable AI-enabled delivery.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Senior Software Engineer with 18+ years of experience delivering high-impact systems by balancing business strategy with technical rigor. I’m hands-on, results-driven, and I course-correct underperforming delivery while keeping quality non-negotiable.
I’ve built and modernized engineering platforms end-to-end—leading tech modernization, CI/CD, and cloud infrastructure automation, while integrating advanced AI tooling and agentic workflows to stabilize on-time deployments. I champion “Building the Right Thing” and “Building the Thing Right” with a grounded, data-driven approach to listening, mentorship, and continuous upskilling.
I lead teams and platforms across global environments, including cross-cloud migrations (Azure to AWS), GitOps-driven delivery workflows, and high-scale performance engineering. From AWS EKS and container orchestration to observability with Prometheus/Grafana and scalable data/streaming components, I focus on reliability, speed, and measurable outcomes (including 100%+ YoY revenue and major latency reductions).
I also invest in developer ecosystems—improving internal productivity for Bitbucket Cloud runners and GitOps pipelines, and contributing to open-source work (e.g., DNX’s footprint). With AWS certifications and a deep engineering culture mindset, I’m committed to teaching teams how to safely and effectively ship code alongside AI agents.
