Company mission

To enable organizations to save significant time writing proposals, creating more time to focus on strategic initiatives.

Role

Who you are

  • Proficiency in a backend language (eg. Python)
  • Experience with relational databases like Postgres
  • Proven track record in developing exceptional software, especially in enterprise
  • Prior experience in AI and large language models is a plus but not mandatory
  • Extreme care about the end user experience and take pride in building exceptional products
  • Demonstrated passion for start-ups or early-stage companies
  • At least 5 years of experience in backend engineering with a focus on product development and scaling platforms
  • Experience with AWS; On-prem deployment experience is a plus
  • Prior experience designing and building large, complex systems
  • Versatility across the stack (server, database, deployment) is essential

Desirable

  • Background as an early engineer in a rapidly growing startup
  • Experience in renowned product organizations (e.g. Linear, Ramp)

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
  • Solve Unprecedented Challenges: Address complex issues in applying LLMs in government-related settings
  • Rapid Iteration: Iterate closely with customers to improve user experience, performance, and security
  • Grow With Us: Play a vital role in expanding our engineering team

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.
