Senior Software Engineer - Data About Wishlink Wishlink is on a mission to revolutionize the creator economy and redefine how people shop. We're all about providing every user with a highly personalized shopping experience guided by creators, so they can find exactly what they want, in a very short time, while improving their online shopping experience severalfold. We are shaping a new era at the intersection of two of the most prominent aspects of the internet- e-commerce and social media . Team and Investors We’re 3 founders, Chandan , Shaurya , and Divyansh , with a shared passion to solve real-world problems at scale and consume content for hours (XD). We started Wishlink in January 2022 when we discovered products on social media that we wanted to buy but could not (in some cases, actually did)! We are based out of Gurugram. We have recently raised a series B round of $17.5M backed by leading global investors including Vertex Ventures SE Asia & India, Fundamentum, and Elevation Capital. Why Join Us? Our team includes alumni from IITs, IIMs, and top tech companies , and we move fast while having a LOT of fun! We work with brands like Amazon, Flipkart, Myntra, Nykaa, Ajio, H&M, and many more. At Wishlink, you get to work in a fast emerging consumer-tech startup and play an integral part in building the creator-enabled eCommerce space. What would you be doing? Watch Reels and YouTube videos every day & level up on your fashion sense! Write production code daily: This is a hands-on engineering role where you will actively build, not just manage or delegate. Own the end-to-end data lifecycle: Architect, build, and optimize our data pipelines from event collection to storage and serving, ensuring high reliability and performance. Build toward a self-serve vision: Lay the foundational groundwork for a platform where analytics and product teams can independently derive insights with minimal engineering dependency. Integrate AI-native approaches: Evaluate and implement the latest AI trends (like LLM-assisted quality checks, automated monitoring, or natural language access) where they deliver practical improvements. Establish robust observability: Build systems that proactively surface pipeline failures, data staleness, and anomalies before they impact stakeholders. Collaborate seamlessly: Work closely with the analytics and product teams to translate complex data requirements into well-scoped engineering execution. Navigate our current stack: Spark, Databricks, Deltalake (Medallion architecture), BigQuery, Athena, EMR, SageMaker, Airbyte, and Power BI. What are we looking for?
