Job details

Senior Backend Software Engineer - Java/Kotlin

We all witness the inefficiencies in how the public sector spends money. These inefficiencies hit hardest in critical areas such as national security, education, homelessness, and infrastructure, impacting the very fabric of our communities. We believe the root cause of public sector inefficiency lies in a broken procurement process that forces innovative, private companies to walk away from public sector opportunities. When red tape blocks innovation, taxpayers’ dollars are wasted, businesses can’t scale, and communities miss out on transformative improvements.

At Starbridge: we are building the future of public sector go-to-market. We envision a world where public contracts are transparent and accessible to all. One where any entrepreneur or business can understand the market, find opportunities, and compete on the merits of the product. Our mission at Starbridge is to catalyze a new era of public-private partnerships that change the world for the better.

Starbridge's Revenue AI Platform helps businesses grow public sector revenue. By identifying early buying signals, building strategic outbound capabilities, and automating manual processes like proposal writing, our partners win more contracts & establish a competitive edge.
