Meesho's data-engineering rounds probe multi-event scoring, growth SQL, and cost-efficient platform design, reflecting a value-focused social-commerce marketplace.
In 2026 expect a pipeline round on computing supplier catalogue-quality scores from listing, order, and return events while handling high return rates that skew the signal, a SQL round on fastest-growing suppliers per category month-over-month with volume thresholds, and a platform round on a cost-efficient data stack where controlling warehouse and compute spend is a hard constraint. Interviewers reward reasoning about noisy-signal handling, window-function growth metrics, and partition pruning and storage-format cost trade-offs over throwing compute at the problem. Ground answers in real marketplace analytics.
