Abhishek Gupta

Business focussed technologist at heart! I enjoy building delightful products & technology that create lasting value for users. I also enjoy mentoring & growing talent while scaling companies. It is satisfying to help people grow, see their growth and celebrate their success. Although I strive to be the best mentor I can, I am in awe of those that can truly teach and inspire. At Facebook, I lead teams focussed on Facebook Marketplace product including Feed, Search, Messaging, Product Details & Infrastructure for Marketplace Buyer Experience. Before this, I led product teams focussed on Facebook Shops. Prior to Facebook, I was Head of Engineering at Hired where I lead multiple teams with 50+ people across Subscription Product, Search & Discovery product engineering, Machine Learning, Marketplace Engineering, Data Engineering, DevOps, Platform Engineering & IT. Prior to Hired, I led Search & Discovery engineering teams with 100+ engineers focussed on Saas products: LinkedIn Recruiter (from $50 million to $1.1 billion) and LinkedIn Sales Navigator (from 0 to $300 million). Even before that, I graduated with a Masters in Artificial Intelligence (AI) from Stanford. At Stanford, as a Teaching Assistant, I taught Machine Learning, Data Mining & Operating Systems.
