Flipkart hiring 700 Tech Jobs up for grabs

E-commerce giant Flipkart is increasing headcount in areas of data science and analytics, among other specialisations, according to HR consultants.

The company has over 700 open positions and the majority of these are across functions in the technology department —data scientists, UI & UX designers, product solution engineers, tech program managers, software developers, IT infrastructure & service delivery and IT applications.

At the recently concluded campus recruitment round, Flipkart has also made offers to at least 20 students from the Indian School of Business (ISB), said an HR consultant familiar with the matter. ET had reported in November that Flipkart is back on campuses after skipping placement seasons at the Indian Institutes of Technology and Indian Institutes of Management.

“Flipkart is aggressively hiring in tech functions. Over 4/5th of all current open positions at Flipkart is for technology functions,” confirmed a spokesperson for Flipkart, adding that the “aggressive tech hiring is part of the company’s ‘AI for India’ programme, which leverages Flipkart’s strengths in tech and data to build scalable AI-powered solutions for the country”. For this, the retailer has kept about 50 data sciences positions open.

The hiring drive comes after the company had to trim costs in 2016 and 2017 and saw its corporate workforce fall from being 15,000-strong at the end of 2015 to 8,000 employees. Flipkart had also deferred the joining dates for campus recruits from the IIMs in early 2016. However, things have changed since the Bengaluru-headquartered company received $4 billion in funding last year.

“For the business to grow in a productive manner, deep technology is almost a necessity,” CEO Kalyan Krishnamurthy had told.

Flipkart is hiring talent Engineers in 2017

After an exodus of the senior management from the company over the past year, online marketplace Flipkart is now hiring to strengthen its engineering team. The company will focus on hiring mid-management employees in three core areas for engineering including mobile experience, cloud infrastructure and personalization.

The renewed focus on hiring comes after a year of high-profile exits from the company who were recruited during 2015. Close to six senior vice-presidents and directors have left the company since January when Tiger Global's Kalyan Krishnamurthy took over as chief executive officer. Since January, the company has seen the return of old hands to helm key operations for supply chain of mobile phones, grocery among others.

The current focus is on hiring engineers with typically two to five years of experience, which is a key area of investment for the company. Flipkart will also hire contract workers to strengthen the operations of its captive logistics unit Ekart.Engineering will drive our innovation edge. The assumption is that e-commerce industry is driven by capital, but it is (actually) driven by innovation. We are proud to have a truly world-class engineering function which is a source of innovation. The first investment is to grow that," said Nitin Seth, chief operating officer of Flipkart.

We will strengthen the two to five-year experience layer, with cutting-edge expertise. They will come from both India and overseas as well," said Seth, adding that while focus on engineering did not waver over the past year, the lay-offs in 2016 were done to improve speed and efficiency rather than as a cost-cutting measure by the company

Apart from improving the experience on mobile, the teams will focus on building the company's cloud infrastructure and focus on research areas such as machine learning, natural language processing, artificial intelligence and other areas of data science to make shopping on the platform a personalized experience.

With about a billion-dollar coming its way as part of the recent round of funding, the company is also looking to strengthen its sourcing for key categories including lifestyle, large appliances and furniture as well as the new category for grocery. The company, which has a workforce of 7,800 employees on its rolls, has around 240 members in the top management. This does not include the numbers for Flipkart-owned fashion verticals, Myntra and Jabong.

In 2015, we made a big shift. There was a large influx of new leaders and it got difficult for the company to fully absorb. The Flipkart culture, which is a very distinct culture, got diffused with the size and the suddenness of the change. When I joined last year, it was about strengthening FK culture," said Seth.
