Engineering Manager - Data Platform

Do you want to work on the cutting edge of Cloud Computing, build the next generation data centre, create a system that makes millions of machines look like one big cloud, and build highly scalable distributed systems?

Do you want to be part of the next big wave in the industry, be part of a fast paced, high energy team?

In a business as vastly spread as Flipkart's, the volume of data runs beyond comprehension. Such high volumes of data, if not utilised wisely, add to the costs for the organisation. A thorough Data Analysis indirectly helps channelize our efforts in technical, functional, marketing, business, or support sectors of our platform, so we can monetise data effectively. FDP (Flipkart Data Platform) is a central engineering group attempting to solve data warehousing, analytics and ML challenges for all of Flipkart use cases.
