What the job involves

As an early member of the team, you’ll be part of a transformative company from its early stages
Develop and Refine Products: Build and enhance our core platform that powers Vultron
Make an Impact: Collaborate with our teams to revolutionize government contracting and procurement operations

Our take

Securing federal contracts is essential for national growth, yet the process can be daunting. For example, in FY23 the US spent $774.6 billion, awarding contracts to nearly 110,000 companies. However, preparing proposals in response to government Requests for Proposals (RFPs) can be both time-consuming and expensive.

Vultron is transforming the proposal development process for the public sector with its AI-powered platform, which embeds domain-specific capabilities throughout the federal proposal lifecycle. This approach streamlines workflows, enabling contractors to produce high-quality proposals more efficiently and at a lower cost.

And it hasn't gone unnoticed, with the company recently securing substantial funding, reflecting strong investor confidence. Along with 16x revenue growth in the past year and recognition as the 2024 Company of the Year in AI Government Proposals by GovCIO Outlook, Vultron is ready for a future of exciting growth.
