Northern California Remote

Billy Bunn — software engineer.

I build software and experiences used by millions of people.

Currently at Nike, my work powers privacy and consent systems used by millions of people. Previously, I worked at startups and product companies building full-stack consumer web, mobile, and backend services. I like remote teams that keep learning, try new tools with judgment, and care about what happens after the first version ships.

How I work

Ship useful software without losing the thread.

I am usually most useful where product needs, backend systems, and release pressure meet: turning a rough ask into a service contract, a path to production, and enough evidence for the next person to trust the work.

  1. 01 Clarify the work. I like clearing up the data model, service boundary, failure cases, and the reason the thing needs to exist.
  2. 02 Ship with a rollback path. The release plan, checks, alerts, and handoff are part of the work, not chores after the work.
  3. 03 Use tools without hiding judgment. Automation and AI help when they make the evidence easier to review.
If you're here for work

The short version.

Privacy is where I have done a lot of recent work, but the broader fit is backend and platform engineering: reliable services, data migrations, internal tools, developer workflows, and systems that need to be both useful and explainable.
