About

Mohammed Malik Software Engineer

I work on distributed storage at AWS EFS. Debugging why things break at scale, automating fleet operations, performance testing before launches. The kind of work where a subtle issue can cascade across thousands of customers, so you learn to think carefully about failure modes.

I’ve been writing Python and Java for years, mostly building internal tools and systems that other engineers rely on. What I enjoy most is taking something manual and tedious and turning it into something that just works.

Recently I’ve been contributing to PostHog’s open source codebase. Shipped Azure Blob Storage batch exports, which meant learning Temporal workflows, working across the full stack, and matching a testing bar much higher than typical codebases. Before that, I built OU Notes, a mobile app that’s been serving students for years. There’s a specific kind of learning that only comes from maintaining something people actually depend on.

I want to work somewhere I’d be proud to stay for years. Remote, backend or infrastructure focused, with people who genuinely care about the craft. The kind of place where you look back and realize you did some of your best work there.
