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 place special emphasis on the continuous growth of each team member - and we do this with regular 1-1s and open communication.    Tech Culture   We have a unique tech culture where engineers are seen as problem solvers. The engineering org is divided into multiple pods and each pod is aligned to a particular business theme.
