Malt operates a two-sided marketplace for freelance talent across nine countries, now shifting from general freelancers toward enterprise staffing and consulting via AI-driven matching. The hiring surge is sales-dominated (37 of 77 open roles), paired with aggressive AI adoption (Cursor, Gemini, Claude) and active work on an AI-native sourcing experience and RFP automation—signaling a pivot from marketplace discovery toward enterprise deal acceleration.

Malt is a freelance marketplace founded in 2013, now serving over 850,000 freelancers and 90,000+ clients across Belgium, France, Germany, the Netherlands, the Nordics, Spain, Switzerland, the UAE, and the UK. The platform handles project matching and, since acquiring Comatch in March 2022, operates Malt Strategy as a dedicated category for management consultants and interim executives. The engineering foundation spans TypeScript, Vue, Kotlin, Java, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Elasticsearch, and GCP—supporting mobile clients (Flutter, Swift), data analytics (BigQuery, Looker, Apache Spark), and enterprise integration (NetSuite, SAP, Oracle). With over 700 employees across 44 nationalities, the org is scaled for sales and operations; current pain points include revenue retention, proposal turnaround time, and enterprise adoption scaling.
Malt builds on TypeScript, Vue, and Nuxt for frontend; Kotlin and Java with Spring Boot on backend; PostgreSQL and MongoDB for data; Elasticsearch for search; RabbitMQ and Redis for messaging; GCP and Kubernetes for infrastructure; Datadog for monitoring; BigQuery and Looker for analytics.
