Job Description: About the team

Data is everything… But only in the hands of the right person. And as part of our team, you will help us transform data into actionable insights and systems. When 5% of Indian households shop with us, it’s important to build data-backed, resilient systems to manage millions of orders every day. We’ve done this – with zero downtime! 😎

Sounds impossible? Well, that’s the kind of Engineering muscle that has helped Meesho become the e-commerce giant that it is today. We value speed over perfection, and see failures as opportunities to become better. We’ve taken steps to inculcate a strong ‘Founder’s Mindset’ across our engineering teams, making us grow and move fast.

We know how to party as hard as we work! If we aren’t building unparalleled tech solutions, you can find us debating the plot points of our favourite books and games – or even gossipping over chai. So, if a day filled with building impactful solutions with a fun team sounds appealing to you, join us.
