About CDQ

At CDQ, we offer a flexible work environment and the opportunity to contribute to the development of Cloud Apps, a web platform that helps users interact with CDQ APIs and products through a modern interface. Our engineering setup includes a React application built with TypeScript and Vite, a shared NestJS backend, and automated testing across multiple levels. You will be part of a small, collaborative team of three frontend engineers, which means a high degree of flexibility, ownership, and direct influence on the entire web application - from architecture and technical decisions to code quality, user experience and the evolution of our web app.

"Smart in mind and heart" is what we are at CDQ!

As a spin-off of the University of St. Gallen in Switzerland, CDQ is the global pioneer in collaborative data management with more than 15 years of experience in data quality. We have developed the first suite for collaborative data management with Data Quality as a Service (DQaaS). Our goal is 100% data quality - without maintenance.

Would you like to actively shape the future of the world's leading provider of collaborative data management? Then we look forward to receiving your application!
