We help users discover and buy products through content creators they trust, sitting at the intersection of e-commerce and social media. In just 4 years, we've grown to900k users daily, Rs 300cr+ monthly GMV, 30,000+ creators, and 200+ brand partners.\nTeam and Investors\nWe’re 3 founders,Chandan,Shaurya, andDivyansh, with a shared passion to solve real-world problems at scale and consume content for hours. We started Wishlink in January 2022 and are based out of Gurugram. We have recently raised a series B round of $17.5M in February 2026, backed by leading global investors including Vertex Ventures SE Asia & India, Fundamentum, and Elevation Capital.\nWhy Join Us?\nOur 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.\nWhat would you be doing?\nWatch Reels and YouTube videos every day & level up on your fashion sense!\nThis is a hands-on engineering role where you will actively build, write production code and not just manage or delegate.\nArchitect, build, and optimize data pipelines from event collection to storage and serving, owning the end-to-end data lifecycle with high reliability and performance.\nLay the foundational groundwork for a self-serve analytics platform where product and business teams can independently derive insights with minimal engineering dependency.\nBuild observability systems that proactively surface pipeline failures, data staleness, and anomalies before they impact stakeholders.\nEvaluate and implement AI-native approaches (LLM-assisted quality checks, automated monitoring, natural language access) where they deliver practical improvements.\nWork closely with analytics and product teams to translate complex data requirements into well-scoped engineering execution.\nWhile your initial focus will be on data infrastructure, there is a clear path to owning broader platform challenges as the team grows.\nNavigate our current stack: Spark, Databricks, Delta Lake (Medallion architecture), BigQuery, Airbyte, and Power BI.\nWhat are we looking for?\nIf you are a content creator yourself or have worked closely in the social media space, we like you already :)\n5+ years of software engineering experience, with at least 2+ years deeply involved in scaling data infrastructure. You identify as a strong software engineer first, not just an operator of ETL tools.\nStrong foundation in backend engineering, distributed systems, and cloud platforms (AWS/GCP), paired with a deep understanding of modern data concepts like Lakehouse architectures, data modeling, and batch/streaming processing.\nYou care about data quality and reliability as measurable outcomes: pipeline freshness SLAs, schema drift detection, row-count anomalies, and query performance. You've built or operated systems that track these.\nProven ability to guide peers on engineering best practices, code quality, and scalable system design through code reviews and architecture discussions, without needing formal authority.\nStrong communication skills. You can translate between data engineering and business/analytics stakeholders, making complex tradeoffs understandable to non-technical teams.\nGood to Have\nExperience with CDC pipelines and streaming ingestion tools like Debezium, Kafka connectors, or Airbyte.\nHands-on experience with data partitioning, sharding strategies, and columnar databases like BigQuery for analytical workloads.\nFamiliarity with BI tooling and building data models that serve non-technical users directly.\nPerks and Benefits\nWe are committed to providing the best environment for you to thrive in. To help with this, we have the following benefits available for all our employees.\nCompetitive Salary, Generous ESOPs, and Relocation Bonus\nLearning & Development Programs\nCompany sponsored newsletters and books\nSubscription to AI tools\nRegular Team Outings\nExperience Wishlink\nExplore our Creator App: iOS | Android\nExplore our Shopping App: iOS | Android\nLinkedIn: Wishlink\nFounders\nShaurya Gupta - Founder & CEO\nDivyansh Ameta - Founder & COO\nChandan Yadav - Founder & CTO\nEngineering Team\nAnuj Gupta\nShantanu Verma\nManav Rao\nArjun Salyan\nAmit Jonwal\n Dipendra Singh\nNavneet Kumar","description_format":"text","description_chars":4506,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":true,"industries":["E-commerce Platforms","Influencer Marketing"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-19T09:56:47Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":3,"expected_fill_days":73,"reasons":["conf:1","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-23T05:54:15Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":38076,"is_top_pay":false},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/wishlink-senior-software-engineer-data","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/wishlink-senior-software-engineer-data.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-24T01:08:35Z","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":1858,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-25T00:00:00Z"}},"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":2783580},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=2783580"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fwishlink-senior-software-engineer-data"},{"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%2Fwishlink-senior-software-engineer-data"},{"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%2Fwishlink-senior-software-engineer-data"},{"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/wishlink-senior-software-engineer-data\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fwishlink-senior-software-engineer-data"}]}
