WORK HISTORY
Senior Staff Backend Engineer @Mozilla
Working with fantastic people on a mission to keep the internet open and accessible to all.My team handles the broad historical remit of \"websites\" at Mozilla, with a major focus on the massively high-traffic and plus the plethora of services and data-sources that keep them fast, robust and current. I view the platforms under each site as a product, and my target users are my colleagues, who build on it, and also the end users who benefit from all our work.

SKILLS
ABOUT STEVE JALIM
I\'m a high-impact, adaptable tech-team leader and web application engineer with a diverse track record of successes that demonstrate my strong development, organisational and interpersonal skills. I bring 18+ years of full-stack experience in a range of product-focused contexts, from award-winning digital agencies to bootstrapped startups, from VC-gilded scaleups to national government, and I\'m currently making a difference at the globally significant tech org, Mozilla.My current strengths include system architecture and backend development of distributed systems, with a keen eye on localization and data-privacy considerations.(High availability, appropriate performance, strong accessibility and high security are all table stakes – every application needs them to do a good job.)Things I love doing: solving thorny business problems, building healthy teams, improving processes, delivering fricton-free software, mentoring others and - most of all - meeting users\' needs. Because if we\'re not doing that, what\'s the point in building anything?I\'ve earned a deep understanding of Python and Django over the years, and have been a Wagtail CMS subject-matter expert at a number of organisations. I can write modern frontend code, with or without JS frameworks including React and Vue, and I\'m happy to carefully leverage generative AI to solve problems faster, but I also know how to avoid the pitfalls that come with this next era of software-engineering assistance.Check out the recommendations below to hear more about what I bring to a team.
