Job Description
The Engineering Manager role on the backend team at Meesho covers systems behind an e-commerce marketplace that handles millions of orders a day and has more than 1.75 million registered sellers. The posting describes an architecture that has moved from a monolith to microservices and then to a federated design. Services are built with Java and Golang, the company uses Kafka as its message bus and Dragonfly and Redis for caching, and its data layer includes ScyllaDB, MySQL and MongoDB on Google Cloud. The job is based in Bengaluru.
The manager oversees software development teams and makes sure projects stay on track and scale well. Duties include designing tasks for engineers in line with company guidelines, running regular performance reviews, tracking project progress and preparing progress reports. The manager also works with sales and design colleagues on new products and develops newer engineers into experienced contributors.
The posting stresses ownership and speed: engineers are expected to act like owners of their projects, to ship quickly and refine over time, and to treat failures as lessons, supported by blameless post-mortems.
The role suits an engineer with at least seven years of experience, including two years of managing software teams, who can drive sprints and OKRs, understands transactional and NoSQL databases and Kafka, and has worked with cloud infrastructure on AWS or GCP. Expertise in Java or Python with multithreading is expected. Knowledge of data pipelines and Elasticsearch is a plus.

- Hold regular planning meetings and produce progress reports.
- Develop newer team members into experienced engineers.
Requirements
- A degree in computer science at bachelor's or master's level.
- Seven or more years of professional experience.
- Two or more years of experience managing software development teams.
- Ability to drive sprints and OKRs.
- Strong working knowledge of both transactional and non-relational data stores.
- Solid understanding of Kafka messaging.
- Good experience with cloud infrastructure on AWS or GCP.
- Expertise in Java or Python and multithreading.
Qualifications
