About Anshul Chokhani

I build backend platforms and distributed systems that work at scale — and I\'ve been doing it across some of India\'s most demanding engineering environments for the past 9 years.At Atlassian, I lead performance and reliability for Confluence Data Center. I\'ve diagnosed and fixed JVM-level memory issues, built cost-attribution frameworks that saved $1.5M annually, and driven security programs adopted across Jira, Bitbucket, and Bamboo. I grew into a tech lead within 3 months and now direct a team of 5 engineers.Before Atlassian, I was a Staff Engineer at Tekion, where I designed a parts-supersession system using graph modeling in MongoDB and led a 20-member team for a multi-million-dollar UK market launch. At Flipkart, I built the Coupons Management Platform from scratch — 10M+ coupons/week, p99 under 100ms — reducing customer acquisition cost by 67%. I also built a real-time vernacular nudge system serving 30-40M users as part of Flipkart\'s Next 200M initiative.I started my career at Morgan Stanley, where I was promoted 3 times in 3 years building order management systems for Capital Markets.I care about writing clean systems, mentoring engineers, and solving problems that matter at scale. Open to Senior and Staff engineering opportunities.
