This modern and collegially managed employer prioritizes not only the complete satisfaction of customers but also that of its employees. If personal fulfillment, exciting projects with renowned clients, and ample scope for your own solution strategies are as important to you as an attractive salary (approx. €60,000-€80,000 gross per year for developers and around €80,000-€120,000 for team leaders, depending on professional experience and qualifications), then you will feel right at home in this very family-like work atmosphere with a "du" culture, great collegiality, mutual support through team spirit, working at eye level, and team integration (average age between 30-40 years, onboarding buddy from day 1). In addition to the growth of the developer and consultant team, creative, leading, and independent minds are sought who, thanks to their reliability, can master new, varied challenges every day and want to take on responsibility directly. Work is performed in a 40-hour week from Monday to Friday with 30 days of vacation and flexible trust-based working hours.

The office offers good public transport connections and is also easily accessible by car (parking available). Benefits of this modern company include team events (e.g., for exchange or a short Friday with a joint lunch), regular internal and external training opportunities (including in 365 BC) and growth prospects, a company mobile phone, company car/bike leasing, company fitness with Wellpass (EGym), emergency childcare, and other corporate benefits.
