About Team:
SCM Inbound - The SCM Inbound engineering at Myntra encompasses the Pricing & Promotion, Buying
& Selection, Catalog Management, Partner Management, Manufacturing Engineering, Market
Intelligence & Finance Engineering teams. Myntra Supply Chain Management systems form the
backbone of our core business and customer experience. Any business runs on a simple construct of
Demand(Consumer) and Supply (Producer). However, a set of complex and intricate methods, processes
and systems connect the demand with supply in a deterministic and predictable way. These methods,
processes and systems collectively form the Supply Chain for the business.
The multi-billion-dollar Myntra business fundamentally rests on a set of highly scalable, robust and
intelligent Supply Chain Management systems that solve real world problems of predicting the demand
from millions of our customers, for a combination of millions of products from our product catalog, and
intelligently connecting that demand to thousands of national and international sellers or suppliers
using a set of advanced homegrown tech products that we build and manage. SCM engineering employs
new-age technologies such as Distributed Computing constructs, Machine Learning, Deep Learning,
Computer Vision, Artificial Intelligence; scalable data stores in Mongo, Redis, Cassandra, MySQL, Elastic
Search, scalable programming constructs in Node.js, GoLang, Java; JavaScript, Python, Big Data
processing and new age frameworks such as Springboot and ReactJS to solve some of the hardest
problems in the e-commerce business with world-class software products.
