Bilal Malik is a Senior Forward Deployed AI Engineer based in San Francisco with six years of hands-on experience building data-intensive systems, full-stack applications, and deployment pipelines across startups and enterprise teams. He has shipped production integrations and data platforms at Palantir and Zafin, modernized streaming and containerized infrastructure at IBM, and automated SDK and monitoring workflows at Zynga. At YC-backed Retell AI and earlier as engineering hire #2 at Arphie, he blends client-facing deployment work with backend engineering, spanning Java/Spring Boot, PySpark, React/TypeScript, and cloud-native tooling like ArgoCD, Kubernetes, and Azure. He’s comfortable across database paradigms—NoSQL, relational, and graph—and has repeatedly accelerated developer velocity through tooling and automation. More than a generalist, Bilal pairs a software-engineering foundation (honors CS with a math minor) with forward-deployed problem-solving, shipping pragmatic AI and data solutions under product constraints.
