Job description

Wishlink is building the future of creator-led shopping. We help users discover and buy products through content creators they trust, sitting at the intersection of e-commerce and social media. In just 4 years, we've grown to 900k users daily, Rs 300cr+ monthly GMV, 30,000+ creators, and 200+ brand partners.

Team and Investors

We started Wishlink in January 2022 and are based out of Gurugram. We have recently raised a series B round of $17.5M in February 2026, backed by leading global investors including Vertex Ventures SE Asia & India, Fundamentum, and Elevation Capital.

What would you be doing?

• Build Bronze, Silver, and Gold data models using a Lakehouse (Medallion) architecture.
• Optimize Spark jobs for performance, scalability, and cost.
• Work with structured and semi-structured datasets from multiple sources.
• Develop reusable, production-ready data engineering frameworks.
• Own data quality, monitoring, and pipeline reliability as measurable outcomes.
• Collaborate closely with Product, Analytics, and Business teams.
• Participate in code reviews and production support.Navigate our current stack: Spark, Databricks, Delta Lake (Medallion architecture), BigQuery, Airbyte, and Power BI.

What are we looking for?

• If you are a content creator yourself or have worked closely in the social media space, we like you already :)
• 3+ years of professional experience in Data Engineering, with a strong software engineering foundation.
• Strong SQL skills (joins, CTEs, window functions, query optimization).
• Hands-on experience with Apache Spark / PySpark / Databricks.
• Solid knowledge of data warehousing and data modeling.
• Experience with ETL/ELT and incremental data processing.
• Experience with the AWS or GCP cloud ecosystem.
• Strong communication skills - you can translate between data engineering and business/analytics stakeholders.

Good to Have

• Delta Lake or Apache Iceberg.
• Performance tuning and partitioning strategies.
