Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolWasif Malik is a Senior Backend Engineer based in Berlin with 15 years of experience designing and operating large-scale, resilient backend systems. He has led and mentored teams across startups and scale-ups, building event-driven platforms, secure infrastructure, and zero-downtime deployments using Go, Terraform, AWS and ECS. His background spans platform and infrastructure roles—from mTLS, Vault and code-signing at FORM3 to ingest-and-publish automation and per-environment VPC designs at Lottie—reflecting a strong focus on security, automation and observability. Wasif combines hands-on engineering (Erlang, Scala, Python, Go) with infrastructure-as-code practices to reduce operational toil and accelerate delivery. Notably, he has experience converting fragmented service landscapes into consolidated, testable systems and enabling short-lived AWS credentials and Wireguard tunnels for safer developer access. He brings a pragmatic balance of mentorship, systems thinking and deep distributed-systems expertise informed by an MS in Distributed Computing.
