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.

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
