About Me
Engineering Leader. Platform Architect. Team Builder.
I am Arjun Mehta, Director of Engineering specialising in cloud-native platform architecture and high-scale distributed systems. Over 18 years I have led engineering at companies ranging from 50-person startups to publicly listed enterprises, building the infrastructure that keeps millions of users connected, transactions flowing, and products running at 99.97% uptime.
My work sits at the intersection of technical architecture and people leadership. I have built and scaled engineering teams from 8 to 34 across three time zones, established engineering cultures that reduced attrition from 34% to 11%, and delivered platform migrations that saved companies crores in infrastructure costs annually. I believe the best engineering leaders write great code and develop great people.
I am currently exploring Director and VP Engineering roles at product-first technology companies in the USA and Singapore where I can apply my experience building global-scale platforms to a new market. If you are building something ambitious in cloud infrastructure, developer tooling, or high-scale consumer platforms, I would love to connect.

Built from scratch an internal developer platform that abstracted away infrastructure complexity for 200+ engineers. Included self-service environment provisioning, automated CI/CD pipeline templates, observability dashboards, and on-call runbook automation. Reduced average time to provision new service from 3 weeks to 4 hours.
Designed and delivered a real-time fraud detection and transaction intelligence engine processing 50M+ daily events. System uses ML-based anomaly detection with sub-50ms decision latency. Reduced fraudulent transactions by 73% in first 6 months of operation, saving the business an estimated Rs. 8 crore annually.
Rebuilt Flipkart's core product search infrastructure from the ground up. New architecture delivered 6x improvement in query latency, 34% improvement in search relevance measured by NDCG, and supported 3x traffic growth during Big Billion Days sale event without degradation. Served as technical foundation for Flipkart search for 5+ years.
"Arjun is one of the rare engineering leaders who is equally strong in system design and people leadership. He rebuilt our entire data infrastructure in under 9 months while simultaneously growing the team from 8 to 22. The platform he built is still the foundation we run on today."

"Working with Arjun at Flipkart was a masterclass in how to run a high-performance engineering team. He had a rare ability to communicate technical complexity to business stakeholders while keeping his engineers motivated through genuinely difficult delivery timelines. His search infrastructure is still handling the Big Billion Days traffic."

"Arjun was one of our most respected lead consultants during his time at Thoughtworks London. His ability to navigate complex enterprise client relationships while maintaining technical rigour on the delivery side was exceptional. He would be an asset to any engineering organisation."
