What We’re Building
CROWN MACHINE is a high-performance, AI-powered SaaS platform transforming how companies negotiate through real-time electronic auctions (eAuctions). Now, we’re scaling—and there’s so much still to build. From connecting LLMs and optimization algorithms to refining UX and automation, you’ll join at a pivotal moment where your technical vision and code will shape the platform’s future. Within months, we’ve built a cutting-edge product, onboarded several enterprise clients, closed €1M+ in projected revenue, and raised our first round from top-tier VCs like Kima Ventures, Heartfelt, and Prequel.
Who We Are
Crown was founded by Mykyta Voytenko , an eProcurement expert with 15+ years at Nestlé, Sanofi, and Engie. We’re a passionate, international team of 10, blending deep procurement expertise with startup speed and tech ambition. Joining now means becoming part of the founding team — where your contributions will shape the future of B2B negotiation tech.
As Lead (founding) Developer , you’ll own the architecture, performance, and scalability of our full-stack platform. You’ll lead technical decisions, and drive the next phase of product development with a strong focus on real-time systems, data privacy, and seamless user experience. Today, the platform is live and running real-time eAuctions with enterprise clients, but the most exciting work is ahead : enhancing scalability, expanding eAuction logic, and bringing in smarter decision-support features. We're also laying the groundwork for smarter automation and decision-making, leveraging data and AI where it creates real value. You’ll play a central role in bringing these capabilities to life.
