Custom web and chat software for healthcare and retail, built on Node.js and React
verkstedt is a 11–50 person software consultancy in Berlin and Cologne focused on healthcare and retail media. Their stack—Node.js, Express, React, PostgreSQL, Redis, RabbitMQ, Kubernetes on GCP and AWS—reflects a maturity in distributed systems and real-time messaging. Hiring is heavily weighted toward senior engineers (6 of 7 engineering roles), suggesting client work on complex, compliance-heavy problems rather than scaling a SaaS product.
verkstedt builds custom web and chat applications for non-trivial client problems, with deep expertise in healthcare (where regulatory compliance is a constant constraint) and retail media verticals. The team is distributed across Berlin and Cologne, structured around engineering-led delivery with a focus on shipping production systems that remain reliable under real-world load. Projects span greenfield healthcare builds and cloud infrastructure work on GCP, reflecting both new customer engagements and long-term operational ownership.
