Welcome to The Shortlist Edit. We do weekly drops featuring tech talent profiles.

This Edit focuses on engineering talent. Let’s dive in!

Traun Leyden

Seasoned Senior Engineer: From Dev Tools to NLP Research 👾

Traun is a seasoned engineer you would love to have on your team. Prior to working on his own company Hyperlint, Traun worked as a Senior Deep Learning Engineer at Arcee.ai, where he brought advanced LLM research into production.

His earlier roles as a Senior Software Engineer at Databricks and Couchbase provided him with a robust foundation in software development at scale. At Couchbase, he played a key part in developing scalable backend systems and mobile SDKs, while at Databricks he further honed his skills in building reliable, high-performance systems.

Coworkers from the past would say that Traun is not only technically adept, but he also brings thoughtful questions and comments to every team meeting that go beyond the realms of engineering. A talent not to miss in your outbound recruiting for your engineering team.

Will Moggridge

Crafting Clean Code & Reliable Systems 🛠️

At Noda (fka Infogrid), Will is a part of the engineering team behind the energy management platform for built environments. With a strong foundation built during his tenure at Canonical (the company behind Ubuntu) and Prolific (YC backed human data collection platform), Will brings a balanced blend of front-end sensibility and deep back-end expertise.

Founders and hiring managers seeking a developer who understands the nuances of full-cycle development—from crafting intuitive interfaces to optimizing back-end processes—will find Will’s versatile skill set an asset to any tech-driven team.
