About DataFuel

DataFuel runs the analytics and ads-automation layer for consumer brands selling on Amazon, Flipkart and Myntra and on the quick-commerce apps Zepto, Blinkit and Instamart. We collect data from thousands of dark stores and every major marketplace, turn it into dashboards brands use daily, and automate their ad spend. The team is small, so what you ship reaches paying customers within days.

How we work

We build with coding agents like Claude Code every day. You will too. The skill we hire for is knowing what to ask for, reading what comes back, and noticing when it's wrong. You own every line you ship, whoever typed it.

What you'll work on

• Marketplace backends: integrate with Amazon, Flipkart and Myntra ads APIs. That means syncing campaigns, making bid and budget changes safely, and serving the reporting APIs behind our dashboards.
• Background jobs and analytics: write Celery workers, and SQL queries over Postgres and ClickHouse on tables with hundreds of millions of rows.
• AI features: add tools and data readers to Atlas, our AI assistant, and help check that its answers are correct.Front end: connect your APIs to our React + TypeScript app and fix the UI when needed.
