Software engineer and tech lead building low-latency, high-scale ordering and data systems.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Software Engineer (3, Tech Lead) currently leading ordering engineering at Blinkit, where I’ve owned high-QPS catalog and ordering systems with millisecond-level latency and high availability. I also re-architected the Assortment Management System, enabling 1M+ hyperlocal operations per day and improving localization accuracy and customer relevance.
Previously, I built a rules engine powering fulfillment decisions at scale (50M+ rules/day) with low latency and stronger compliance to regulatory and vendor constraints. I’ve contributed across infrastructure and data platforms—making data lakes reliable, building data sanity tooling, and migrating ETLs to Airflow with end-to-end CI/CD and monitoring—while also working on ML-enabled fraud detection and developer tooling like S3UTIL for user-friendly AWS S3 workflows.
