About the role

Flipkart has defined the eCommerce industry in India and will continue its leadership with its core value of putting “Customer first”. Flipkart is made of people who love being themselves and their independence of thoughts pave way for disruptive innovation in technology, business and operations fronts.

You will own a functional area - from product conception to its delivery to customers. You are expected to design and code independently in multiple tech components related to your functional area. You must also develop a deep understanding of non-functional requirements, such as reliability and availability, scale, horizontal scalability, etc., over time and make tech stack decisions accordingly. You are expected to actively mentor junior engineers. You own

the codebase quality. We are looking for seasoned engineers who are quality conscious, product thinkers, business cognizant and smart –not mere coders. Engineers get to significantly amplify the impact of their work or creations with the scale that Flipkart operates at. The same scale also demands the engineers to produce super-efficient solutions.
