Flipkart

Software Development Engineer 2

Jul 2014Nov 2016 · 2 yrs 4 mos · Bangalore

  • Team: Search
  • Layer2 ReRanking for InStock and Serviceable Products on Real Time Signals:
  • =========================================================
  • Designed & Developed the Layer2 to de-rank the Out of Stock and Non-Serviceable products in Real Time
  • This is to reduce when the user clicks the top products in Search/Browse results and ends up seeing 'No sellers deliver in this area' and 'Out of Stock' issues
  • External Clients(MAPI/Website) call New Layer2. Layer2 gets multiple sellers of top products from Layer1(Solr). Layer2 reranks the available sellers/listings with in a product and de-ranks the products if all sellers/listings are not serviceable in an area (pincode)
  • Impact: Reduced the 'No Sellers' issue from 25% to 7% during BBD 2016
  • Popularity Ranking of Products (Non-Personalised):
  • ======================================
  • Revenue per impression based ranking of products in category browsing over the sales based popularity ranking. Handling 70+million products
  • Click-Through Rate & Revenue per Click ratios are calculated offline for products and normalised at category level by Hadoop Map Reduce jobs scheduled daily using Oozie
  • The metrics are fed into Solr Indexes periodically and products are ranked in Exploit Bucket
  • Impact: Popular products featured in browsing results and have improved the funnel conversion ratios
  • Near Real Time Data Ingestion (In-Memory updates):
  • =======================================
  • Apache Storm based Data Ingestion Pipeline to consume real time updates in search systems
  • Apache Redis (Jedis) to index the real time data for consumption by Solr and external systems.
  • The updates are pushed into Solr indexes and deprecated the single threaded pull based data import handler (which was not scaling to our volume of product updates millions/hr)
  • Impact: Reduced the lag in document updates and brought down Out of Stock products in the search/browse results. All the products under the offers reflected on time.
