Software Engineer (Backend & Infrastructure)

Blinkit
Gurgaon, India
10.2014 - 06.2018
  • Company Overview: A hyper-local e-commerce startup based in India.
  • As a founding engineer at Blink-It, a hyper-local e-commerce startup based in India, I played a pivotal role in building and scaling technical products from the ground up, and I scaled them for exponential growth of over 10 million users nationwide, which was acquired by Zomato for USD 568 million.
  • Using Python, Django, PostgreSQL, Redis, Celery, and AWS, I developed a content management system that functioned like a control panel for listing cities, neighborhoods, stores, and products for adding or removing content from consumer apps.
  • Created the early versions of consumer APIs, which mainly served the pre-checkout experience, including location-based search, login using OTP, adding products to the cart, and applying coupons before checkout.
  • Built a near-real-time indexing pipeline to deliver inventory stock and price updates to Elasticsearch.
  • Led a team of five members in successfully transitioning the monolithic content management system into a service-oriented architecture. This strategic move involved designing and implementing REST APIs that facilitated seamless communication with other teams responsible for warehouse inventory management.
  • In addition to my role in feature development, I made valuable contributions as an infrastructure engineer by designing and implementing scalable, fault-tolerant, and highly available infrastructure and systems. I also focused on enhancing observability and monitoring capabilities to ensure optimal performance and efficient handling of requests from a user base exceeding 10 million.
