2022 Software Development Engineer II - Backend - Bangalore null

About this job role

How many engineers does it take to change a lightbulb? Not sure. That’s a hardware engineer’s job.

Granted, we are not the best at this. What we are good at, however, is building resilient systems to manage millions of orders every day (minus the tragic humor). And we’ve done this – with zero downtime! When 5% of Indian households shop with us, robust systems become very important.

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 place special emphasis on the continuous growth of each team member - and we do this with regular 1-1s and open communication. As Software Development Engineer - II (Backend), you will be part of self-starters who thrive on teamwork and constructive feedback.

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 favorite 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.
