We value speed over perfection, and see failures as opportunities to become better. We’ve taken steps to inculcate a strong ‘Founder’s Mindset’ across our engineering teams, making us grow and move fast. We want Meesho to be at everyone’s fingertips! And, YOU can make that happen. We place special emphasis on the continuous growth of each team member - and we do this with regular 1-1s and open communication. As Android Architect, you will be part of self-starters who thrive on teamwork and constructive feedback. We know how to party as hard as we work!
