About the role

We're looking for a backend engineer to build the discovery and ranking systems at the heart of Meilo — the systems that surface the right look to the right person.

You will own real infrastructure that powers how millions of people discover style.

What you'll do

  • Design and build search, discovery and ranking services.
  • Model structured style data so it can be queried and ranked well.
  • Tune ranking on execution quality and intent — not vanity metrics.
  • Keep query latency low as the catalogue and traffic grow.
  • Work with data and product to turn signals into better results.

What we're looking for

  • 4+ years building backend services, ideally in Java or a JVM language.
  • Solid grasp of databases, indexing and query performance.
  • Experience with search or ranking systems is a strong plus.
  • Pragmatic, ownership-driven and comfortable with ambiguity.
  • Bonus: interest in relevance, ranking or recommendation systems.

Why Meilo

You'll shape a product used by people and artists across India, with the autonomy of an early team and the support to do your best work.
