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?
- Watch Reels and YouTube videos every day & level up on your fashion sense!
- Own features end-to-end — from understanding requirements and system design to shipping and iterating based on feedback.
- Write production-grade backend code in Python/Django, Postgres, Redis, Celery — clean, scalable, well-documented.
- Break complex problems into well-scoped tasks and execute them reliably without handholding.
- Contribute to the frontend by building and maintaining React.js components.
- Identify and fix performance bottlenecks and tech debt before they become incidents.
- Collaborate across product, design, and engineering — communicate clearly, align early, and never let a blocker sit quietly.
What are we looking for?
- 5+ years of building production web applications, with strong backend depth preferably in Django/Python.
- Comfortable with React.js — not a specialist but can own and ship UI independently.
- Solid system design instincts: you can design a feature from scratch, think through edge cases, and write a clear design doc.
- Proficient with REST APIs, SQL at scale, Redis, and debugging production issues end-to-end.
- You write code others can read, maintain, and build on — good structure, useful documentation, clean PRs.
- Comfortable operating in a fast-moving startup: you can prioritise, context-switch, and ship under pressure.
Good to Have
- Experience with message queues like ActiveMQ, Kafka or async/event-driven architectures.
- Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, infra and observability tooling.
- Background in eCommerce, affiliate marketing, or social commerce.

We are committed to providing the best environment for you to thrive in. To help with this, we have the following benefits available for all our employees.
- Competitive Salary, Generous ESOPs, and Relocation Bonus
