What Awaits You

We are continuously growing and are looking for reinforcement for our development team. Together with 15 colleagues, you will further develop our software products in an agile manner. You will work successfully with your team across Germany, virtually and at the same time—independent of your location. Whether at home or in the office: meet a team with members who support each other, are enthusiastic about Open Source, and have fun at work.

Your tasks:

• In small teams of experts, you design, develop, and maintain open-source products at the highest level with the following tech stack: Python 3, Linux (Debian), OpenLDAP, SAML, REST, SQL, Docker.
• You will be responsible for the software architecture and software quality together with your team.
• You support us in the further expansion of CI/CD with GitLab and other DevOps topics.

You can learn more about the everyday work of a software developer from our colleague Arvid.
