Job description

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 the modern business. Vertice is the world’s first Intelligent Procurement Platform eliminating this chaos. By combining 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, Lakestar.

How we work at Vertice Engineering Collaboration and transparency are at the core of how we work. We keep it simple - no unnecessary management layers, just direct connections between business and engineering. Hierarchies don’t get in the way, instead - we keep things flat, flexible and focused on what works. This is how we do it: - Autonomous Teams - Our small teams (made up of Frontend, Backend, Fullstack, AI/ML and QA) operate without traditional tech leads or managers. They decide how they work - whether it’s stand-ups, prioritization or project management methods. Teams are assigned areas/goals/problems where they can make the biggest impact, yet they don’t own any part of the code, so they can basically work on any part of the product. - People Managers - You won’t be left figuring things out alone. Our People Managers with psychology backgrounds focus on your growth, well-being and career support while keeping Vertice’s flat, collaborative culture strong. They’re here to encourage open communication, support conflict resolution and help ensure you thrive. - Chapters - Specialists still need to stay aligned. Chapters bring together people with similar expertise - like Frontend, Test Automation or Release - to share best practices, standards, common sense and they keep the knowledge flowing across teams - directly!
