Location: Seattle

Remote: Yes.

Willing to Relocate: WA/CA, only.

Technologies: Kotlin/Java/Javascript. Mostly stick in back-end tech stacks. I pick the right tool for the job. I have been playing a lot with deploying and tuning local AI agents (Llama, Stable Diffusion), as it’s the most fun toy on the market.

LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/philip-gilbreth-786987106

Email: solvers-reviews07 at iCloud dot com.

1. My name is Philip.

2. I am a senior software engineer at Prime Video.

3. My expertise is in designing scalable, resilient, and usable data pipelining/aggregation services, and sensible interfaces to front them that meet the ever-shifting needs of a growing business.

4. I, along others, have successfully created 3 separate critical services for Prime Video, scaled them to Prime Video scale, and supported (through hiring, skill-development, vision/product development) the scale-out of an organization surrounding these services.

5. I am mission-driven. I have stayed in my current role for 6 years because video streaming has been an exciting, fulfilling product to work on. I’m eager to pour my spirit into refining and executing a great vision.

6. I am convinced that AI will be used to reduce the level of effort required to perform work across all industries, which will in turn increase the rate of experimentation and innovation. I feel compelled to contribute to that story.

Hoping to raise some visibility into a weird issue. I bought an iPad recently, and logged into my Facebook account through it. I dont use the app, and log in via Safari, using iCloud Private Relay. Fairly soon after, I got an email “Someone may have accessed your account”. I checked the log-in record - the location was in a different part of the country, but the device and timestamp were clearly mine. I recently logged in again on the same device, and received an account suspension about 15 minutes later for violating Community Standards. I haven’t posted anything except an updated profile pic over the last 5 years, so I thought this was weird, but could have been some really old post just now getting flagged by some automated system. Then I found this Reddit thread, with other users facing the exact same circumstances.

I wanted to highlight this here in case it’s a weird malicious attempt to force Private Relay users to use a more trackable access method.
