About Wishlink

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’re 3 founders, Chandan, Shaurya, and Divyansh, with a shared passion to solve real-world problems at scale and consume content for hours. 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.

Why Join Us?

Our team includes alumni from IITs, IIMs, and top tech companies, and we move fast while having a LOT of fun! We work with brands like Amazon, Flipkart, Myntra, Nykaa, Ajio, H&M, and many more. At Wishlink, you get to work in a fast emerging consumer-tech startup and play an integral part in building the creator-enabled eCommerce space.

What would you be doing?

Work across Wishlink's consumer-facing products: the React Native shopping app, the creator app, and internal web dashboards. This is a hands-on engineering role where you will actively build and write production code, not just manage or delegate.
Build and optimize video-heavy, reels-style UIs with smooth gesture-driven interactions, HLS playback, and the kind of performance that feels native.
Drive frontend architecture and developer experience across the team: establish patterns around state management, navigation, and API integrations, build shared components and libraries, and make it easier and faster for engineers to ship reliable features.
Tackle cross-platform challenges across iOS and Android, from debugging native modules in Kotlin and Swift to managing platform-specific build pipelines with Gradle, Xcode, and EAS Build.
Own the release pipeline end-to-end: EAS builds, OTA updates, GitHub Actions CI, and the Play Store and App Store release workflows. Make deployments boring and reliable.
Raise the engineering bar through thoughtful code reviews, mentorship of junior engineers, and setting standards for code quality, testing, and performance.
Navigate our current stack: React Native (Hermes, New Architecture, Reanimated), Expo + EAS, TypeScript, React Query, Firebase, and Sentry.

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 :)
6+ years of software engineering experience building production React Native apps shipped to both Play Store and App Store. You identify as a strong engineer first, someone who can reason about systems, not just operate frameworks.
Deep knowledge of the React Native New Architecture, JSI, and Reanimated worklets. Hands-on experience with Expo SDK, EAS Build, and OTA updates, not just managed Expo, but the full prebuild-to-production pipeline.
Proven experience profiling and optimizing React Native apps: FlatList virtualization, re-render reduction, Hermes profiling, startup TTI. You care about platform-level metrics like app launch time, asset size, frozen frames, and crash rates, and you know how to move them.
Comfortable writing and debugging native code in Kotlin (Android) and Swift/Obj-C (iOS) when the JavaScript layer isn't enough. You can navigate Gradle builds and CocoaPods without flinching.
Track record of elevating team practices through code reviews, architecture discussions, and guiding engineers on scalable design without needing formal authority.
You can articulate technical trade-offs to engineers, product managers, and designers alike, and drive alignment in ambiguous problem spaces.

Good to Have

Experience building video-heavy or reels-style UIs, with analytics/attribution SDK integration, or with deep linking across both platforms.
Experience with design systems, shared component libraries, or internal frontend tooling that improved developer velocity.
Exposure to web frontend (React.js) for internal dashboards alongside mobile app work.
