Job Description

Jr Founding Engineer | SimpleGrid Ai


Bangalore (In-Office)

1012 LPA + Founding ESOP (0.51.5%)

WHAT WERE BUILDING


SimpleGrid.AI is building a schema-driven AI event engine for physical-world businesses.

Factories. Export houses. D2C brands. Warehouses.


Instead of rigid ERP modules, we map how the business actually runs - and configure the system around it.

Built on:

Schema Engine (DDD-based)

Immutable Event Ledger (append-only architecture)

AI Layer (OCR + LLM validated system events)

We deploy clients in under 7 days.

This is production infrastructure, not a college project.


TRACTION


Paid pilot with a 500-employee furniture exporter

SAP quoted 18 months were deploying in under 7 days

Additional manufacturers ready to onboard

THE ROLE


Youll build the system from Day 1.


You will:

Ship production backend code

Work on schemas, workflows, and event models

Help design APIs and internal abstractions

Implement AI-based structured extraction workflows

Solve real operational problems for paying clients


You work directly with the founder. No layers. No ticket factories.

WHO THIS IS FOR


Graduating 2025/2026 or recently graduated.


Non-negotiables:

Youve shipped something real (side project / hackathon / open source / deployed app)

Fluent in TypeScript or Python

Comfortable working in ambiguity

Curious about system design


Strong signals (not mandatory):

Interest in event-driven systems / DDD

Built backend systems beyond CRUD

Have opinions about clean architecture


We care more about what you've built than your GPA.

COMPENSATION

1012 LPA

Founding-level ESOP (0.51.5%)

4-year vest, 1-year cliff


Equity allocated based on contribution in first 3 months.

HOW TO APPLY
