Senior Software Development Engineer-3 - Gurugram, India - Agrim
Description
Problem Statement:
In India, we have a lot of different crops, but our farmers dont have much land. This makes it tough for them to get the right farming supplies at the right time. The brick-and-mortar supply chain has problems like having limited products, too much inventory in stock and working capital, high returns and not being able to give farmers what they need when they need it.
Over 40,000 MSME agri-inputs manufactures rely on this data dark supply chain, but it hurts their profits.
Whats Agrim doing?
In a perfect world, we would take products from the manufacturers and deliver them directly to the farmers, like how Swiggy and Zomato deliver food.
But its too expensive to do that for farmers. Plus, farmers also need advice on farming, which requires local knowledge. So, were creating a platform for local shops that farmers trust.
Were making a system where stores can get the farming supplies they need just-in-time.
We offer a big selection of 20,000+ products to these stores, which is way better than other options.
We use technology to keep our costs low, stay asset-light and make sure we can reach every part of the country. Were focused on making things better bit by bit and letting compounding do the magic.
How We Build Stuff:
At Agrim, were currently in a phase where our product is taking the lead. Weve successfully found a match between what we offer and what the market needs (90% repeat customers), and our business is fitting well in the market (500 crore+ in Annual Recurring Revenue).
To make sure were on the right track, were assembling a team of top-notch software engineers and architects. Theyre the ones laying down the technical foundation for our upcoming growth.
We strongly believe in the idea that simplicity is key. Our main goal is to create products that truly benefit our customers and sellers. Before launching anything new, our business teams test their ideas with stakeholders and try them out offline for a while. This helps us prioritize features and products based on their impact. Thanks to this approach, our product and engineering teams work with great discipline. In fact, were proud to say that in our three-year history, we havent gotten rid of any piece of code
When it comes to non-core products, were not afraid to look outside for solutions. Our in-house team focuses solely on building the essential core products.
We also believe in keeping our engineering team a reasonable size. Zerodha achieved a lot with just 33 engineers. We aim to follow suit and reach our goals with fewer than 30 world-class engineers as we grow.
