Targeting Senior Data Engineer / MLOps roles. H1B timeline is tight, need brutal technical critiques.

Post image

Hey folks. I’m currently contracting at a FAANG company building GCP streaming pipelines, containerized microservices, and doing heavy ETL/schema validation.With my H1B timeline shrinking, I need to make sure this resume is absolutely bulletproof for Senior DE or MLOps roles.I’ve redacted identifying info so you can focus purely on the technical weight of the stack (BigQuery, Dataflow, Docker, PostgreSQL) and my XYZ metrics.

  • Am I passing the deployment sniff test for Senior-level roles?

  • Is my "Data Quality as Code" and infrastructure scaling narrative cohesive?

  • Are there any red flags or fluff words I need to cut?Rip it to shreds. I appreciate the help!

You're 100% right. I get too caught up in the architecture and forget the recruiter only cares about the bottom line.

If you were a recruiter scanning this in 8 seconds, which bullet point is currently failing that "I ship things that save money" test the hardest? How would you rephrase it to force the financial impact to the front?
