How We Work as a Team

We work with agile methods like Scrum. Most of us work from home two to three days a week. However, we also have colleagues for whom four days a week (or more) of home office is normal. We release about twice a year. In the respective final phase, there may be a few overtime hours, but this is rather the exception and they can be compensated with time off in lieu. We help each other, even in stressful situations, and if a mistake happens, there are no blame games, but we own it and work on improvement.

What You Bring

• You have several years of professional experience as a developer, ideally also in the further development and coaching of a team.
• You are familiar with the following technologies/frameworks: .NET / .NET Framework, ASP.NET Core, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, SQL.
• Ideally, you also have experience with some of the following tools: Visual Studio / Rider, Microsoft SQL Server, Jira, Git, TeamCity.
• You enjoy dealing with technically complex issues and developing implementation concepts.
• You are well-organized, communicative, and enjoy working with various colleagues, including across departments.
• You are a team player and know how to bring a team together and develop it.

• You have experience coordinating with customers' (technical) contact persons to gather requirements and assess feasibility.
• Knowledge in the areas of resource planning and project management is an advantage, but not strictly required.
