Company mission
One tool where you can: create strategy, build pipeline, track tenders and win bids. We help public sector teams move from disconnected workflows, mountains of data, unqualified opportunities and painful collaboration to a single, end-to-end process so you can focus on what really matters. Winning more contracts.
Role
Who you are
- 4+ years of experience as a Product Engineer or Full-Stack Software Engineer
- Experience with TypeScript or JavaScript

- Understanding of relational databases and/or search technologies
- Ability to translate product requirements into sound technical decisions
- Strong fundamentals in testing, debugging, and writing maintainable code
- Experience working on SaaS products or data-heavy applications (bonus)
- Effective communicator: Sharing complex ideas and presenting your work with both the engineering team and the wider Stotles team
- Great at working with others, great at managing your time: We’re a small team working on ambitious goals so effective teamwork is crucial. At the same time we expect everyone to manage their workload efficiently
- Focused on impact, not output: Always focused on the customer impact of what we’re building, using the best tool for the job and excited to learn new things in the process
- Ambitious curiosity: Eager to learn skills and technologies outside of your comfort zone, take ever more challenging tasks and grow into a senior engineering role at Stotles
- Dependability & detail-oriented: Trusted to deliver on the commitments you make to the team, from the big picture results to the nuanced details

What the job involves
- We’re looking for a Product Engineer to help build and improve key parts of our product across the stack. You’ll work closely with product, design, and other engineers to deliver high impact features, improve our core platform, and enhance the workflows our customers rely on every day
- You’ll be hands on and will contribute to architectural discussions as well as help to drive high standards in code quality, testing, and reliability. As we scale, you’ll play an important role in shaping how our engineering team builds, ships, and maintains software
- You’ll work in a small, cross-functional product team, collaborating with product and design (alongside our CPO, Carsten, and Head of Design, Phil) to plan and deliver well-scoped features from design and implementation through testing, deployment and monitoring
- You’ll have opportunities to build new customer-facing features and backend services across our TypeScript/React/Nest.js stack, working on meaningful challenges such as:
- Building the next generation of our AI-powered capabilities
- Improving our search and discovery experience
- Enhancing the foundations of our core platform
- You’ll contribute to improving the scalability, performance, and reliability of our systems
- You’ll participate in technical design discussions and contribute ideas that improve our architecture
- You’ll help maintain and evolve our coding standards, testing practices, and developer tooling
- You’ll work closely with other engineers to review code, share knowledge, and continuously raise the bar
- Front-end: TypeScript with React
- Back-end: Node.js / TypeScript / GraphQL with Nest.js (migrating from Ruby on Rails)
- Data: PostgreSQL and OpenSearch
- Infrastructure: AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform
- CI/CD: fully automated builds, testing, and deployments
Application process
- Screening call with our Technical Talent Partner
- Collaborative coding session with the Engineering team
- System Design interview with our Head of Engineering
- Meet key Product and Engineering colleagues
- We're excited to meet you!
Salary benchmarks
Our take
Stotles is aiming to break down the barriers to government contracting, so more firms can compete for public sector contracts, not just those with the right contacts.
They do this by using lots of government data to identify business opportunities in the public sector, and match them with the companies on their platform. The platform, which gets its name from Aristotle, enables suppliers to follow indicators, track potential contract renewals, monitor buyers, and monitor competitors.
The founders have been at the intersection of public and private sectors, at firms such as the World Economic Forum, Boston Consulting Group, and Bloomberg. They have experienced the pain of bidding for public work beforehand, which gave them the idea.

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion at Stotles
John Witt (CEO)
- ED&I is both important *and* urgent — in the short-term and long-term. It must not take a back seat.
- The phrase "Equality, Diversity, & Inclusion" (ED&I) refers to our initiative to create a well-rounded workforce and an environment where everyone has the opportunity to be the best version of themselves - no matter who we are, where we're from, or what we look like
- How we define equality: We view equality as the fairness of opportunity to contribute to the mission of Stotles - regardless of traits and characteristics of a person.
- How we define diversity: We view diversity as the traits and characteristics that make people unique. Gender, race, ethnicity, age, origin, religion, sexual orientation, and disability are some examples of how we are diverse at Stotles. We also consider diversity as differences in experiences and ways of thinking. Sometimes we can see things that make us diverse and sometimes we can't.
- We view inclusion as the behaviors, processes, systems, and norms that ensure all unique people feel welcome, and feel ownership of our mission, regardless of their background
