Termgrid Careers & Recruitment

Corporate Overview & History

Termgrid was founded in 2016 by a group of data-management veterans who previously led enterprise data-governance initiatives at IBM, Oracle and SAP. The company’s vision was to simplify the creation, maintenance and consumption of enterprise-wide data dictionaries, glossaries and metadata repositories through a cloud-native, low-code platform. Headquartered in New York City, Termgrid opened its first offshore engineering centre in Bangalore in 2017, followed by a second development hub in Hyderabad in 2019. Today the firm serves more than 250 global enterprises across banking, insurance, pharmaceuticals, telecom and e-commerce, with a cumulative annual recurring revenue (ARR) exceeding $45 million.

Termgrid’s core mission is to empower data-driven organisations to achieve “trust-by-design” – a state where every data consumer can instantly verify the lineage, definition, quality and compliance status of the data they use. The company’s platform is built on a micro-services architecture, hosted on AWS and Azure, and complies with ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type II and GDPR standards.

In India, Termgrid operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary, Termgrid Solutions Pvt. Ltd., registered in Bengaluru. The Indian entity handles product engineering, AI-driven data-cataloguing R&D, and a growing client-services team that supports regional accounts in APAC and the Middle East.

5. Offer & Background Verification – Successful candidates receive a detailed offer letter (salary, ESOPs, benefits) followed by standard background checks.

For senior leadership roles (Director, VP), an additional executive panel interview and a case-study presentation are part of the process.
