Hackers wanted - Senior Software Engineer

ABOUT OUR COMPANY

We are an engineering organization. Our mission is to “Ship great software” and build custom, large-scale software platforms on time, on budget and on target.

In over two decades, we have never failed to deliver what we promised.

85% of our members are software engineers with a background in computer science, physics or mathematics, many also with a strong background in machine learning.

freiheit.com technologies was founded in Hamburg in the midst of the first internet boom in the last millennium in 1999. Since then, we’ve been building custom software platforms and helping our clients to create their future business models based on software.

For over a quarter of a century, we have been working for the "Who's Who" of German and European industrial and commercial companies. Retail, automotive, e-commerce, healthcare and more.

Our large-scale software platforms are used by millions of users every day. Each product has a business-critical, strategic relevance for our customers.

We have a team of 250+ employees from 30+ nations in our engineering hubs in Hamburg and Lisbon.

We make “mission impossible” possible and very often create things that no one has ever built before.

Our teams work data-driven to constantly optimize their own productivity by removing friction from their work. Each member takes on end-to-end responsibility for their work. To be successful, you need to be productive. To be productive, you need to be efficient and effective.

Technology never rests. Neither do we.
