Engineering Design & UR Product Data Science
for Bharat

Our scale

Our average API latency on the server-side is 30ms

Our average daily search queries have grown 120x in a year

Our API gateway layer processes >70k requests every second on an average

A new product is uploaded on Meesho every second

Our product teams value speed over perfection - this is enshrined in our mantra of being able to ship fast, and iterate to achieve impact.

What makes us different

High velocity environment

We value bias for action among our PMs. Solving novel problems requires multiple quick iterations to create impact

Cross-functional pods

We give PMs tough problems & empower them to solve - imagine a cohesive unit of developers, PMs, designers, data scientists, and engineers all obsessing over solving interesting problems.

Mission over instruction

PMs are driven by impact, not by features. We drive ‘problem discovery’ and delivery - not only obsess over ‘what to build’, but execute with rigour to create impact.

1/4

Most design & User Research is focused on Tier-1 India. Our challenge is to design an app for those who’ve never shopped online before. Researching our unique demographic & shaping UX design experiences makes our work unique.

What makes us different

Design for Bharat

We’re building for folks who expect design to remove friction. Since our audience has limited exposure to e-commerce, it’s imperative to make design simple, not overwhelm our users, and improve purchase decisions.

User empathy

We have one of the largest design teams across startups in India with an undiluted focus on understanding the complex nitty-gritty of our audience. Our user-first approach differentiates us from others.

Broad exposure

Our designers are involved in the end-to-end process of building a product. We don't merely follow instructions, but closely work with PMs & engineers to ideate on solutions; from the problem solutioning stage, to development.

What makes us different

Build for scale, always

We’re growing exponentially - we are always building for the 10X future by creating resilient systems. The latter is super important given how our systems witness exponential traffic during ‘sale’ days.

Innovate fast, fail fast

Speed over perfection is one of our core mantras. Our hockey-stick growth forces us to look for quick cycle innovations that can be iterated later. We do not look down on failures, and we embrace our imperfections.

Own and collaborate

Everyone in Meesho is expected to have a founder’s mindset. We encourage every engineer to be an active participant. Our pod structure ensures this collaboration. We embrace ‘product’ engineering, and work closely to shape the future of each product

Meesho One

Having a transparent culture that’s open to feedback is critical to scale engineering. We have an in-house tool, ‘Meesho One’ to manage 1-1s, remove ambiguity, have better communication, goal-setting and help engineers be more efficient.
