Job Description
Bangalore (In-Office)
1012 LPA + Founding ESOP (0.51.5%)
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.
Paid pilot with a 500-employee furniture exporter
SAP quoted 18 months were deploying in under 7 days
Additional manufacturers ready to onboard
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.
Graduating 2025/2026 or recently graduated.
Non-negotiables:

Strong signals (not mandatory):

Built backend systems beyond CRUD
Have opinions about clean architecture
We care more about what you've built than your GPA.
