The listing, marked up

Termgrid is rewriting the rules of private capital markets. We built the category-defining operating system for deal professionals — the platform where the world's most sophisticated private equity sponsors, lenders, and advisors manage every stage of their financing workflows.
Founded in 2019 by Dipish Rai (Harvard MBA, IIT, Columbia; ex-Providence Equity) and Vishal Singh (Columbia MS CS; ex-CTO Link3D, acquired by Nasdaq: MTLS), Termgrid has achieved what few fintech companies dream of: 4 of the top 5 global private equity firms trust us as their core technology partner. 1600+ institutions. 30,000+ professionals.
We've been named New Solution Provider of the Year at the PE Wire US Awards 2024, Secure Workflow Management Provider of the Year at the PE Wire US Awards 2025, and shortlisted for the PE Wire EU Awards 2026 and The Drawdown Awards 2025. This isn't a company finding its footing — this is a rocket that has already cleared the launchpad.
The $1.7 trillion private credit market is growing at breakneck speed. Every billion-dollar deal, every GP-LP relationship, every leveraged buyout in the pipeline is moving through workflows that were built for a different era. Termgrid is the platform that changes all of that — and we're just getting started.
What You’ll Do
• Design, develop, and own microservice-based backend applications using Java and Spring Boot.
• Build APIs and platforms that serve multiple financial workflows and transaction types, ensuring scalability and flexibility.
• Implement event-driven architectures for systems like deal lifecycle management, document generation, and notification pipelines.
• Integrate intelligent capabilities such as automated term sheet parsing, deal analytics, and workflow recommendations.
• Collaborate closely with product, frontend, DevOps, and data teams to bridge real-time and asynchronous system interactions.
• Design efficient database schemas (MySQL), optimize data flows, and maintain consistency across distributed services.
• Monitor, optimize, and scale backend services for performance, reliability, and high availability.
• Participate in code reviews, architectural discussions, and innovation sprints to continuously raise the engineering bar.
What We’re Looking For
• 2–5 years of backend development experience using Java and Spring Boot.
• Strong understanding of microservices architecture and REST API design principles.
• Proficiency in MySQL — schema design, complex queries, indexing, and performance optimization.
• Experience with event-driven systems and message brokers (Kafka or similar).
• Familiarity with caching strategies (Redis, Memcached) and scalable system design.
• Solid foundation in object-oriented programming, design patterns, and clean code principles.
• Experience with Git, CI/CD pipelines, and cloud deployments (AWS or GCP).
• Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to own features end-to-end.
