You will partner with the CTO to define the long-term technology roadmap that powers India's largest fashion e-commerce ecosystem. This is a role for a visionary builder who has seen systems fail at a billion requests and knows exactly how to prevent it the next time. You will not just \"design\" systems; you will evolve our culture of engineering excellence and act as the ultimate mentor to our community of architects.\n\nResponsibilities: \nArchitectural Stewardship: Own the global architecture blueprint for Myntra. Ensure that our systems (Commerce, Supply Chain, Logistics, and Ads) are decoupled, resilient, and ready for 10x growth.\nStrategic Engineering: Drive \"Zero-to-One\" initiatives. Whether it's moving toward a headless commerce engine, integrating agentic AI into the shopping funnel, or optimizing multi-cloud costs (FinOps), you lead the charge.\nSystem Integrity and Scale: Ensure the platform can sustain massive traffic bursts (e. g., EORS) with high availability ($99.99\\%+$) and sub-100 ms latencies across critical paths.\nTechnical Governance: Set the \"Gold Standards\" for API design, data modeling, and security. Review and sign off on high-impact RFCs and design docs across the organization.\nArchitectural Mentorship: Act as the Primus inter pares (First among equals) for our architects. Build a world-class architecture guild, fostering a culture of rigorous peer reviews and continuous learning.\nHands-on Prototyping: Beyond just building high-level \"vanguard\" prototypes, this role demands a hands-on architect who stays in the trenches to build and scale the system's most complex, mission-critical components.\n\nRequirements: \nThe Veteran's Lens: 20-25 years of experience in core consumer internet products. You have lived through multiple technology cycles and migrations.\nScale Mastery: Proven track record of architecting and scaling distributed systems that handle billions of requests and petabytes of data.\nTechnical Breadth: You are familiar with the latest advancements not just in engineering but also in AI, hardware, and cloud, as well as having an understanding of P& L.\nProduct Thinking: You don't build tech for tech's sake. You understand the e-commerce space.\nLeadership without Authority: Exceptional ability to influence engineering and product leadership through technical clarity, empathy, and data-backed conviction.\nSkills\nads, Agentic AI, Architecture, CAN, cloud, datamodeling, Distributed Systems, FinOps, Gold, Hardware, ISA, logistics, Prototyping, rfcs, SUB, supplychain, WHO","description_format":"text","description_chars":2668,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":20,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Continuous learning"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Commerce","Marketplaces","Apparel & Fashion Brands"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-28T16:35:35Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":90,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.903,"p_room":1,"age_days":5,"expected_fill_days":29,"reasons":["seen:5","velocity","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-11-03T05:54:40Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/myntra-chief-engineer-ic","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/myntra-chief-engineer-ic.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-03T23:20:19Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":1972,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-04T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":1431},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=1431"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fmyntra-chief-engineer-ic"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fmyntra-chief-engineer-ic"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fmyntra-chief-engineer-ic"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/myntra-chief-engineer-ic\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fmyntra-chief-engineer-ic"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3407861}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"myntra.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3407861},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
