Omar Zenhom explains how to find senior engineers on Upwork: sort by price high-to-low and hire the most expensive ones with your required skills. They often come from Amazon, Salesforce, IBM, or Yahoo. Higher hourly rates mean faster work and lower total project cost.
I've been using Upwork for over 20 years now. Once you're on Upwork, don't sort by best match don't sort by most recent don't sort by price low to high. Sort price high to low. I look for the most expensive engineers who match the skill set I need for the project. Why? Because expensive engineers are usually the best in the game. I found senior developers on upwork who worked for companies like Amazon, Salesforce, IBM, Yahoo. They built major features in a weekend. They optimize our infrastructure in a single afternoon, which that alone saved me thousands of dollars a year. A senior engineer might cost more per hour, but they cost far less per project because you guessed it, it takes them less hours to complete the project.
