Malini Das is an engineering manager with 14 years of experience building resilient web services and developer tools, currently leading Thunderbird Web Services at Mozilla. She blends hands-on engineering and technical leadership, having driven video playback and SDK launches at Twitch/Amazon IVS and rebuilt deployment and CI tooling across fast-moving teams. Her background in test automation and CI—demonstrated by contributions to gaia UI tests and a custom test dispatcher/CI system in notable open-source repos—means she emphasizes reliability, observability, and repeatable delivery. Comfortable across JavaScript, Python, Go and AWS, she moves fluidly between product roadmaps and low-level debugging, and she’s known for turning messy operational problems into automated, maintainable systems. Based in Old Toronto, she pairs strong cross-team communication with a preference for staying hands-on in code and architecture.
