Software Engineer, Intern
About NationGraph
Our world runs on public infrastructure, yet government data sits fragmented across thousands of portals, PDFs, and poorly designed databases. Finding relevant information like which city just put out an RFP, or which agency is buying a new software system often requires detective-level research. NationGraph’s mission is to end that detective work.
By automating data collection, normalizing records, building a knowledge graph with this data, and presenting them in a single, intuitive interface, we do for public procurement what Bloomberg did for finance and CoStar did for commercial real estate.
Our team works hard to simplify the complicated process of doing business with the government by building great software to solve a real problem.
AI applications applied to government procurement is in its infancy, join us in building an industry defining product.
