Profile: https://flows.cv/jacobparrott

Senior backend engineer focused on building reliable, scalable systems that product teams can grow on. I work at the intersection of backend architecture, APIs, and cloud infrastructure, helping startups and scaling teams ship complex technical initiatives with strong long-term foundations.

My core stack is Node.js and TypeScript, with experience across Python and JVM ecosystems, and a strong emphasis on system design, performance, and operational stability. I’ve led projects involving API platform design, service architecture, database modeling, and infrastructure improvements that reduce incidents and increase development velocity.

I typically operate as an embedded senior IC - owning services end-to-end, driving architectural decisions, and collaborating closely with product, design, and other engineers. I’m comfortable taking ambiguous problems and turning them into well-scoped technical solutions, while maintaining a strong bias toward simplicity and maintainability.

I work well in async-friendly engineering cultures and structured collaboration environments. Teams I work with value clear communication, thoughtful system design, and the ability to move critical work forward without constant oversight.
