Senior Data Engineer

DATA ENGINEER

Overview

They started with a singular belief - what is beautiful cannot and should not be defined in marketing meetings. It's defined by the regular people like us, our sisters, our next-door neighbours, and the friends we make on the playground and in lecture halls. That's why we stand for people-proving everything we do. From the inception of a product idea to testing the final formulations before launch, our consumers are a part of each and every process. They guide and inspire us by sharing their stories with us. They tell us not only about the product they need and the skincare issues they face but also the tales of their struggles, dreams and triumphs. Skincare goes deeper than skin. It's a form of self-care for many. Wherever someone is on this journey, we want to cheer them on through the products we make, the content we create and the conversations we have. What we wish to build is more than a brand. We want to build a community that grows and glows together - cheering each other on, sharing knowledge, and ensuring people always have access to skincare that really works.

PickMyWork is a gig platform that helps any company sign-up new customers and engage with them, through a pay-per-task model using up-skilled unemployed youth.

The Why

Most companies today are moving away from a fixed cost model and/or looking to outsource several jobs previously considered ‘core’ to their business. This simultaneously represents both a problem and an opportunity. The problem is that the pool of available fixed salary jobs is becoming more and more inadequate for the crores of Indians looking for such jobs. The opportunity is that the pool of temporary/third party payroll jobs is expanding. However, the working conditions are often onerous and unappealing. Enter PickMyWork: which allows you to work as a freelancer and choose the work + work timings + intensity. The more you work the more you earn. All of this without the pressure of targets or bosses.

The How

The largest companies and the latest startups are all looking for the most cost-effective ways to grow. And what better way than a plug-and-play model like PickMyWork, an on-demand sales force that sells for you: whatever you want, whenever you want and wherever you want. No retainers, no fixed costs. You only get charged when the sale closes, or a pre-defined task gets completed. Sounds like a dream, right? Read on! Beginning in 2019, we started working closely with companies targeting the SMB space in India, what many refer to as Kirana-tech companies. Since then, we have expanded our client portfolio to serve companies in digital payments, e-commerce, online pharmacy, digital gold, drug discovery and several others.

The list of companies looking to variable their fixed costs of sales/revenue generation/operations seems to be endless. On the other side, most of our gig workers are underemployed and unemployed youth that make up a large proportion of India’s demographic dividend. In the absence of full-time fixed-pay work opportunities, PickMyWork offers them a way to supplement their incomes while they continue upgrading their skills working on different client projects. Some even choose to forego full-time regular jobs in favor of setting up multiple income streams by working on several PickMyWork projects, in parallel. We are determined to ensure that they receive the best possible support to help them reach their goals: by being transparent at all times in our payments, training them well and providing timely feedback for the work done. We innovate, we work smart and often use primary research because we are doing something nobody else is.

We are a fast-paced organization that aims high. This year, we are broadening our network to additional cities to serve the growing set of clients to work with 100,000 gig workers in 2022. By 2023, we would have touched a million lives, directly.
