Ethan Moore
Backend/platform software engineer · Tacoma, WA
Backend/platform-oriented software engineer building production SaaS for creator-led businesses. I work across Go services, SvelteKit applications, PostgreSQL, auth, billing, observability, and the Linux infrastructure that keeps apps online.
I tend toward backend systems and operations, but I am comfortable owning the full path from product feature to deployed service: schema design, migrations, API work, frontend integration, release management, monitoring, and incident response.
Currently maintaining client-facing SaaS products end-to-end, shipping my own tools, and open to backend, platform, or SRE-adjacent roles where product engineering and operations meet.
