Data EngineerAbout Us – MeantToBe Inc.


We are a venture-backed, stealth-stage technology company building next-generation matchmaking and relationship platforms. Our mission is to reimagine how people connect, using AI, community, and content as our building blocks.

We’re not building another dating app — we’re creating an experience where users feel:

“This app gets me.”

At the core of our product is a real-time, ML recommendation engine — similar to Spotify for song moods or TikTok for content discovery.

We are well-funded and backed by marquee VCs in India and the US

Location: Gurgaon

Function: Data Platform

Type: Full-time


The Role

We are looking for a Data Engineer to help design, build, and scale the data platform and infrastructure that powers our core recommendation systems and personalisation engines.

You’ll be a founding data engineer helping us lay the pipelines and infrastructure that feed our recommendation systems, onboarding flows, engagement metrics, dashboards, and ML models.

You'll work hand-in-hand with our ML team to build data adapters and interfaces for model training, serving, and experimentation.


Our Philosophy

We believe:

  • Great data + Good models = Great recommendations

That’s why we’re investing in data infrastructure from our inception and foundation.

  • Build and scale ETL from raw app events to ML-ready features
  • Build real-time and batch pipelines for user actions and events
  • Contribute to the feature store, embedding pipelines, data validation, and freshness monitoring systems
  • Design data layers for use in A/B tests, product metrics, and ML training
  • Partner with ML engineers to deliver data adapters for model inputs, embedding generation, and training loops
  • Help evolve the core event schema and data model with privacy, observability, and performance in mind


Ideal Profile
  • You’re a systems thinker who starts with data and designs for scale. You’ve likely exposure at early-stage or high-scale consumer platforms — social, gaming, transactions, or media.
  • 4–8 years of building scalable data systems in fast-moving environments
  • Experience supporting RecSys, ML, or content feeds in social or consumer platforms
  • Understands how features feed into models, or has worked closely with ML teams before
