About the role

Original posting from Vertice via Ashby

Our mission is to make enterprise procurement effortless.

Technology is one of the biggest line items in any enterprise budget, yet buying it still means months of back-and-forth across Finance, Legal and IT. Vertice is the AI procurement platform changing that. Our agentic workflows, autonomous negotiation agents, and expert buyers help finance and procurement teams in 100+ countries buy smarter and save money. Customers including ARM, Brex and Santander rely on us, and with over $75bn in spend processed, we consistently deliver 20%+ savings while cutting procurement cycles in half.

We were founded by Roy and Eldar Tuvey, serial entrepreneurs who have already built and exited two category-defining companies, and we’re backed by $100M+ from investors including Bessemer Venture Partners.

We’re a team that values candour and moves fast. Every permanent employee holds equity, so you share directly in what we build. If you’re looking for a comfortable 9-to-5, we’re probably not the right fit. If you want to do the best work of your career, we’d love to talk.

How we work at Vertice 

At Vertice, we believe great work happens in an environment built on trust, autonomy, and collaboration. 

  • Our organizational structure is flat. We have Technical Leads, but there is still plenty of room for everyone to make an impact. Although each team has its own focus, no single team exclusively owns any part of the codebase, allowing for flexibility and the opportunity to contribute where you can make the biggest difference.
  • Chapters, where specialists from different teams come together to share knowledge, discuss best practices, and drive improvements.

Your Role at Vertice

  • You'll be key to maintaining our high-quality solution standards.
  • You're a pro at automation, ideally with experience using frameworks like Playwright or Behave.
  • You can read and write code, preferably in Python (or other programming languages), and you have a strong understanding of how to apply it in a testing context.
  • You can take ownership of challenging testing tasks from start to finish with minimal supervision.
  • You'll actively contribute to improvements in our testing frameworks, tooling, and processes that benefit multiple teams.
  • You are open to helping less experienced QA engineers grow by sharing your expertise, offering guidance, and providing hands-on support when needed.
  • You are fluent in English and comfortable communicating in an international team.
  • You are ideally based in Linz, Austria.

Tech Stack We Work With

  • Frontend: TypeScript, React, Tanstack Query, React-hook-form, React Flow, Jotai, Material UI, Storybook, Highcharts
  • Backend: AWS (Lambda, AWS Dynamo, Glue, StepFunctions, Athena, Timestream), Serverless, Microservices, Event-driven architecture, Jupyter Notebooks, Python, Golang, REST, and GraphQL APIs
  • Testing and Automation: Playwright (E2E UI tests), Python+Behave (integration tests), CI/CD

Why join Vertice?

Be a part of a fast-growing, innovative startup that is changing the way businesses buy and sell SaaS. Work with passionate and talented teams that value your contributions and expertise. Be part of a culture that promotes a growth mindset, transparency, collaboration, understanding and diversity.
