Database engineer I

About the Team

When 5% of Indian households shop with us, building resilient systems to manage millions of orders daily becomes essential. Weve achieved this with zero downtime! Sounds impossible? That’s the kind of engineering muscle that has helped Meesho become the e-commerce giant it is today.

At Meesho, we value speed over perfection and see failures as opportunities to improve. With a strong Founder’s Mindset ingrained across our engineering teams, we’re growing and moving fast.

We focus on continuous growth for every team member through regular 1:1s and open communication. As a Database Engineer, you’ll be part of a group of self-starters who thrive on collaboration and constructive feedback.

And yes—we know how to celebrate as hard as we work! When we aren’t building unparalleled tech solutions, you’ll find us debating books, games, or gossiping over chai. If impactful work with a fun team excites you, this is the place.
