Our client, headquartered in Germany, was founded in 2024.
The company provides an AI-powered platform designed to automate public tender acquisition and qualification for companies. It assists in optimizing tender bids, reducing errors, and increasing tender wins.
The solution is based on large-scale data aggregation, document workflow automation, and AI-powered search, helping companies find and win tenders faster.
About the role
You will be working in a small team, with no dedicated management layer.
The project is data-heavy and, in terms of complexity, closer to:
search engines;
large document storage systems;
infrastructure at the level of “mail/directory/index”.
The key value of the engineer is correct and scalable data handling, not just “writing code.”
Your future tasks
-
Design and scale high-performance features using Node.js, TypeScript, and NestJS.
-
Optimize complex PostgreSQL schemas and queries for large datasets.
-
Design microservices for document processing, indexing, and search.
-
Integrate LLM-powered features (OpenAI/Claude) for automated tender analysis
-
Take full ownership of product features with minimal guidance in a flat structure.
Tech stack
Languages: TypeScript, Python
Frameworks: FastAPI, Node.js, Drizzle, Mantine UI
Databases: PostgreSQL (PostGIS, BM25, semantic search)
Queues: Redis, BullMQ
