Principal Fullstack Engineer / Tech Lead Fullstack Applications at Procure Ai Ltd

Procure Ai builds a procurement platform with tools to optimise purchasing and supplier management, delivering real-time analytics, cost-saving insights, and automated workflows. A common data model integrates and enriches data from multiple ERP and e-procurement systems including Ivalua, SAP, Coupa, WPS, and Jaggaer.

06/2025 – TODAY:

  • Architecting and building a new AI-native procurement platform with document intelligence, an agent orchestration layer using Mastra and LLM-based workflow automation across supplier, intake and category management use-cases
  • Shipped agentic engineering workflows across the development team, enabling LLM-assisted code generation and review automation, measurably reducing cycle time on repetitive development tasks
  • Migrating the Design System from Material UI to shadcn/ui with Tailwind, improving consistency and reducing frontend build overhead
  • Staying hands-on across frontend, backend and AI features while the engineering team grew from 10 to 20+ engineers: hiring, onboarding, 1:1s and mentoring

06/2020 – 06/2025:

  • Joining as the first engineer after the two founders; shaping platform architecture and product vision from scratch in close collaboration with the CTO, growing the platform to serve 10 enterprise customers
  • Leading fullstack feature development on the core procurement platform, with focus on Analytics, Search, and Autonomous Negotiations use-cases: defining MVP scope, aligning technical decisions to customer outcomes, and cutting work that wasn't delivering value
  • Challenged a field-based configuration request for Autonomous Negotiations and instead built a node-based rule builder matching how category managers think in conditions and branches; later reused across other workflow and decision configuration use-cases
  • Designing and implementing multi-tenant authentication and fine-grained authorisation based on organisational units
  • Architecting and building a multi-tenant Admin Application for managing customer installations across environments, covering configuration, feature flags, and i18n

About the technology

Wireless foundation

Bluetooth is a short-range wireless technology for exchanging data between devices without cables. Its Bluetooth Low Energy, or BLE, variant supports sensors, wearables, industrial equipment and connected products that need low power use. Classic Bluetooth remains common for audio, hands-free communication and continuous data streams.

Products and use cases

Bluetooth appears in consumer, medical, automotive, retail and industrial systems. Typical deliverables include:

  • BLE sensors that send measurements to phones, gateways or cloud services
  • Mobile apps for pairing, device control, provisioning and firmware updates
  • Audio accessories using profiles for headphones, speakers and vehicle systems
  • Asset tags, beacons and indoor proximity experiences
  • Connected medical and industrial equipment with secure data exchange

Ecosystem and tooling

Strong work spans embedded firmware, mobile platforms and backend services. Specialists use the Generic Attribute Profile, services, characteristics, notifications and advertising data for BLE products. They also work with Android and iOS Bluetooth APIs, Nordic Semiconductor or Espressif hardware, embedded C or C++, serial tools, protocol analyzers and automated test setups.

When to bring in specialists

Companies often need external expertise when a prototype must become reliable in the field. Warning signs include unstable pairing, missed notifications, short battery life, device discovery problems or behavior that differs between operating systems. In Germany, specialists may also support teams that need on-site hardware testing alongside remote software collaboration.

  • Select the right Bluetooth profile and connection model
  • Diagnose interference, range and power-consumption issues
  • Design secure pairing, authentication and data handling
  • Validate behavior across phones, chipsets and operating systems

What quality looks like

A capable professional connects radio behavior with product requirements. They define clear GATT structures, handle reconnects and timeouts, and test real-world conditions rather than relying only on a simulator. They document pairing flows, platform differences, firmware assumptions and recovery paths so another team can maintain the solution.

Project collaboration

Before work starts, clarify the device chipset, operating systems, required profiles, data volume, range, power target and certification constraints. Ask for evidence of shipped Bluetooth or BLE products, not only generic wireless experience. Remote collaboration works well for APIs, firmware review and testing plans; access to physical devices is essential for radio diagnosis and release validation.

Frequently asked questions

Key details about Bluetooth, drawn from the questions we get asked most.

Bluetooth connects nearby devices for wireless audio, sensor data, device control and location-aware experiences. Bluetooth Low Energy is suited to battery-powered products, while Classic Bluetooth is common for audio and continuous connections.

Bluetooth usually offers a practical balance of phone compatibility, power use and short-range connectivity. Wi-Fi supports higher throughput over a local network, Zigbee suits mesh-based low-power installations, and NFC works at very close range for brief exchanges or device onboarding.

A strong Bluetooth specialist often combines embedded firmware, mobile development and hardware debugging. Useful adjacent skills include C or C++, Android and iOS APIs, GATT design, antenna and power considerations, security, backend integration and protocol analysis.

The right level depends on the risk and scope of the product. A simple app integration may need familiarity with pairing and characteristic reads, while a commercial device usually requires experience with firmware, reconnect behavior, power tuning, interoperability and production testing.

Bluetooth work can often be planned, coded and reviewed remotely, especially when the team can ship test hardware and collect logs. On-site sessions are valuable for diagnosing interference, validating physical range and testing devices in their intended environment.

Ask how the professional would model services and characteristics, manage pairing, recover from dropped connections and test across platforms. Evidence of a shipped Bluetooth product, clear test documentation and a method for analyzing packet traces are stronger signals than familiarity with terminology alone.

Bluetooth Low Energy projects often run into unreliable discovery, connection drops, notification timing issues and excessive battery consumption. Problems may come from firmware state handling, mobile operating-system behavior, radio interference or an unsuitable connection and advertising configuration.

Classic Bluetooth is often the better fit for sustained audio and use cases built around established serial or audio profiles. Bluetooth Low Energy is generally preferable for small data transfers, sensors and battery-powered devices, but the choice should follow throughput, latency, power and platform requirements.

The average hourly rate of freelancers in Germany who have used Bluetooth in their recent projects is 94 €, which corresponds to a daily rate of about 751 € based on an 8-hour working day.

Of the freelancers in Germany who have used Bluetooth in their recent projects, 93% hold at least a Bachelor's degree, 54% hold at least a Master's degree, and 9% hold a doctorate.

On average, freelancers in Germany who have used Bluetooth in their recent projects have 18 years of professional experience, with a single engagement typically lasting around 3.1 years.

The most common languages among freelancers in Germany who have used Bluetooth in their recent projects are German (100%), English (98%), and Spanish (19%).
