Software Development Engineer III DevOps

About the team   DevOps - because even the best developers need heroes.   Whether you agree or not, a Senior DevOps Engineer is definitely nothing less than a hero to us - and with good reason! When 5% of Indian households shop with us, it’s important to build resilient systems to manage millions of orders every day. We’ve done this – with zero downtime! 😎    Sounds impossible? Well, that’s the kind of Engineering muscle that has helped Meesho become the e-commerce giant that it is today. We value speed over perfection, and see failures as opportunities to become better.
