# Lionel Lints > Staff SWE at Arkose Labs Location: San Francisco Bay Area, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/lionellints I'm a technical lead and staff software engineer who likes to ship quality code and has experience successfully working across all stages in the development lifecycle. I've built full-stack applications, libraries, APIs, ETLs and other tools to support machine learning in healthcare, recruitment, podcasting, and education. I have a track record of successfully driving the strategic direction, architecture design, prototyping, implementation, and deployment of complex applications and distributed systems. I am deeply committed to continuous growth & learning — both my own and that of my teammates and other software engineers. I've mentored dozens of junior and mid-career software engineers and am passionate about supporting diverse voices in the software community. I value working in supportive, team-driven environments; have honed my communication skills; and generally like to bring a positive, fun-loving attitude to my workplace. In my free time, I love playing music, surfing, practicing chess, and finding the intersection in art & code. ## Work Experience ### Staff Software Engineer @ Arkose Labs Jan 2024 – Present | United States Staff Eng on the detection team. ### Senior Software Engineer Technical Lead @ Lever Jan 2022 – Jan 2023 | Los Angeles Metropolitan Area — Lead the technical architecture and design of Lever’s system configuration team of 8 engineers, focusing over the last year on the global data compliance system. — Ensured consistent delivery under stringent contractually obligated deadlines, while mitigating risks and coordinating needs between legal, product and engineering stakeholders. — Built systems at scale which managed legally required discrete data requirements for many millions of documents. — Built prototypes, wrote code, reviewed PRs, paired with other engineers, and generally pushed the project forward whenever and however needed. — Focused on designing a system with a clear and sensible api that was both extensible as the product grows and was generally consumable by other engineering teams at the company. ### Senior Software Engineer @ Lever Jan 2021 – Jan 2022 | Los Angeles, California, United States ### CTO & Co-Founder at Echo Echo @ EchoEcho Jan 2019 – Jan 2021 | Oakland, CA — Designed, architected, built, and deployed a modern full stack application allowing podcasters to upload audio which is converted to text using NLP.
