Job description

Spend on technology is one of the biggest items in an enterprise CFO’s budget, second only to headcount. Traditional procurement is one of the most frustrating, friction-filled bottlenecks in modern businesses. A single purchase routinely stalls for months, drowning in endless email threads and dragging in teams from Finance, Legal, Security, and IT.

Vertice is the world’s first Intelligent Procurement Platform aiming to eliminate this chaos. By combining automated agentic workflows, deep AI insights, and a global network of expert negotiators, we empower enterprises to buy smarter and scale at pace.

The market response has been unprecedented:

• $75bn+ in spend processed across our platform.

• 20% savings consistently delivered to our customers.

• 70% reduction in standard enterprise procurement cycles.

• 13X revenue growth achieved over the last two years alone.

Founded by serial technology entrepreneurs Roy and Eldar Tuvey, who have successfully scaled and exited two category-defining platforms and created $600M+ in enterprise value, we are backed by over $100M in Series C funding from tier 1 global investors including Bessemer Venture Partners, 83North, and Lakestar. We were recently recognized as the #2 fastest-growing company on the Sunday Times' Tech 100 and named the fastest-growing startup in the UK and Ireland by the FT’s Sifted.

With headquarters in London and hubs in New York, Brno, Sydney, and Johannesburg, we are fundamentally reshaping the global B2B economy.

How we work at Vertice

At Vertice, we believe great work happens in an environment built on trust, autonomy, and collaboration.

• Our organizational structure is flat. We have Technical Leads, but there is still plenty of room for everyone to make an impact. Although each team has its own focus, no single team exclusively owns any part of the codebase, allowing for flexibility and the opportunity to contribute where you can make the biggest difference.

• Chapters, where specialists from different teams come together to share knowledge, discuss best practices, and drive improvements.

Your Role at Vertice

• You’ll be key to maintaining our high-quality solution standards.

• You’re a pro at automation, ideally with experience using frameworks like Playwright or Behave.

• You can read and write code, preferably in Python (or other programming languages), and you have a strong understanding of how to apply it in a testing context.

• You can take ownership of challenging testing tasks from start to finish with minimal supervision.

• You’ll actively contribute to improvements in our testing frameworks, tooling, and processes that benefit multiple teams.

• You are open to helping less experienced QA engineers grow by sharing your expertise, offering guidance, and providing hands‑on support when needed.

• You are fluent in English and comfortable communicating in an international team.

• You are ideally based in Linz, Austria.

Tech Stack We Work With

• Frontend:TypeScript, React, Tanstack Query, React-hook-form, React Flow, Jotai, Material UI, Storybook, Highcharts

• Backend:AWS (Lambda, AWS Dynamo, Glue, StepFunctions, Athena, Timestream), Serverless, Microservices, Event-driven architecture, Jupyter Notebooks, Python, Golang, REST, and GraphQL APIs

• Testing and Automation:Playwright (E2E UI tests), Python+Behave (integration tests), CI/CD

Why join Vertice?

Be a part of a fast-growing, innovative startup that is changing the way businesses buy and sell SaaS. Work with passionate and talented teams that value your contributions and expertise. Be part of a culture that promotes a growth mindset, transparency, collaboration, understanding and diversity.
