What we do SafeGrid Technologies is the creator of Zero, an advanced online safety scanner designed for global markets including the AU, US, UK, and EU. We have spent two years building a high-performance Hybrid Engine that detects complex digital risks through a three phase pipeline:

• Phase A (Triage Medic): Deterministic hard gates for immediate risk identification.-
• Phase B (Risk Velocity): Longitudinal trajectory analysis powered by an LLM Brain.
• Phase C (Feedback Loop): Precision analyst corrections to refine engine accuracy.

Our mission is to provide a dedicated Analyst Console that turns massive data streams into actionable intelligence without ever silently dropping valid risk signals.

Why Work For Us We are a lean, self-funded startup that has moved past the "idea phase". The engine is built and the architecture is solid. You are joining at the most exciting point: the global B2B rollout. At SafeGrid, you are not just a coder; you are a technical leader who will help shape how our technology integrates with major platforms and apps.

Our Culture We value authenticity, technical candor, and directness. We are a focused team based in Cape Town that believes in high-bandwidth, in-person collaboration to maintain velocity. We work hard in the engine room but keep the atmosphere supportive with a touch of wit. We do not hide behind corporate jargon. We value people who take ownership and can speak confidently about the systems they build.

Our Engineering Processes We follow a strict "Dumb Glass" UI contract. Our frontend is a clean representation of the backend's truth, communicating via SSE (Server-Sent Events) for real-time progress. Our stack and principles include: Backend - Node.js and TypeScript Frontend - Next.js and React Intelligence - Hybrid LLM and Regex Engine Architecture - Deterministic Parsers and State Stores

We utilize AI as a force multiplier to work faster and smarter. We maintain pristine terminal logging and require production-ready, surgical code edits.

Our Hiring Process We keep our process practical and grounded in real-world ability.

1. Initial Screen: A brief conversation to discuss your background and technical interests.
2. Architecture Review: We walk through our existing codebase to see how you understand complex system flows.
3. The "Voice" Test: A practical simulation where you explain a technical implementation to a stakeholder to test your communication and English proficiency.
4. Final Meet: A session with the founder to ensure a strong cultural and professional fit.
