Custom software development and product engineering for EU R&D consortia

About
Cargoffer offers consortium partners its product engineering capability for building custom software as part of EU-funded R&D projects. Our team ships and operates multiple production-grade software products used daily by more than 5,000 professionals across Europe, and we are comfortable delivering work packages that require a working software artefact at the end of the project, not just a research prototype.
We contribute expertise in:
• End-to-end product engineering: domain modelling, API design, frontend, backend, infrastructure and operations, with a track record of taking products from zero to production scale.
• Backend engineering with TypeScript/Node, Python (FastAPI) and Go, including event-driven architectures and integrations with MongoDB and PostgreSQL.
• Frontend engineering with React, Vue and Astro, including accessible, mobile-first interfaces and SEO-first public surfaces.
• API-first design and documentation: OpenAPI 3.1 specs as the contract between services and external integrators, interactive documentation portals and SDK generation.
• DevOps and infrastructure: containerised deployments, manual deploy pipelines with versioned environments (dev / release / main / demo / edu), observability, and a strong preference for reproducible builds over deployment magic.
• Document and data extraction pipelines: production OCR for structured and semi-structured documents, including schema validation, confidence scoring and human-in-the-loop review.
• Multilingual product surfaces (ES, EN, PT, FR, DE, IT) with locale-aware UI, data formats and compliance considerations.
We are open to contributing this engineering capacity to Horizon Europe 2026-2027 consortia across clusters, as either a Work Package lead delivering a specific software artefact, or as a technical partner providing capacity to academic, public-sector or industry coordinators. We are particularly strong when the project outcome is a usable, production-grade piece of software that survives beyond the project end.
