Bring strong fundamentals and real craftsmanship – not surface-level knowledge.

• Master C/C++ with solid knowledge of modern concepts and tooling
• Work confidently with databases, especially NoSQL – and choose the right tool for the job
• Use Linux as your primary environment – the command line is your natural workspace
• Understand web technologies like HTTP, JSON, and XML as part of system design

Activities

Build lean, high-performance software components in C++ – code you can be proud of.

• Implement efficient, maintainable C++ systems with a strong focus on performance and quality
• Analyze systems, hunt bugs, and write automated tests – own the quality of what you ship
• Actively contribute to technical discussions and mentor less experienced colleagues – share knowledge, amplify impact
• Define and evolve modern best practices for the team and the organization – leave your mark on how we build software
  
  

Team

• Ownership over tickets: You’re trusted with real responsibility, not just tasks. No unnecessary bureaucracy, no micromanagement – we rely on you to take things forward.
• Build > Talk: We test what works – not what sounds good. Fail fast, learn faster.
• High standards, low ego: We take our work seriously, but not ourselves. Direct feedback, honest collaboration, no drama.
• Stay sharp: Hackathons, conferences, community – we invest in your growth and keep you at the cutting edge.
• And yes – the fundamentals are covered too: 30 days of vacation + Dec 24 & 31 off, Smart Fridays (4 days week possible), mobility (Germany ticket & JobRad), sports & health offerings, mental health support, corporate benefits, RTL+ access, and more.
