  • You have already worked in an environment that involved collaboration with other teams and have gained some leadership experience in that environment.
  • You have a strong interest in the product you are developing and the people who use it.
  • You are still a hands-on software engineer and don’t want to stop writing code anytime soon.
  • You place great importance on automated tests, CI/CD, and observability.
  • APIs (REST or GraphQL) are like your native language.

  • Come as you are: This applies not only to the dress code but also to everything else. Because only where you truly feel comfortable can you give your best.
  • Mobility: Choose the option that suits you best - a Deutschlandticket (public transport ticket) for unlimited mobility, a monthly contribution for an office parking space, a leasing bicycle, or a remote work subsidy.
  • Enhanced Security: Benefit from subsidies for company pension plans, occupational pension schemes, and occupational disability insurance.
