Go wild in our digital sandbox.
Every project is unique, and with every project, we learn more and more about scalable architecture. That is why we develop all solutions on our own stack, composed of open-source technology.
That stack consists of a collection of commonly used functionalities developed as standardized modules. This allows us to easily configure, reuse, optimize, maintain and update our solutions. That way, we have more time to investigate and realize the technically challenging parts of each project.
To support this, all our applications are dockerized and ready to be deployed out of our private registry. The deployment process is managed with Gitlab CI/CD having pipelines building, testing, auditing, and deploying images to multiple environments automatically.
Our stack is our sandbox. We challenge each other to add interesting modules, launch different SaaS products or simply try out and develop a creative concept. Do you have a genius idea? Go wild!
What will you do as a

As a Scrum Master you are part of the Development team and you work together with the developers and the Product Owner (PO). You are the linchpin of our operation, pulling us through the sprints. That is why our new Scrum Master is a real team player who knows how to motivate every member of our crew. We are looking for a strong communicator. Someone who makes our developers and partners feel heard, satisfied and by that creates a healthy working environment.
In addition to keeping your team happy, we need you to make the team as efficient as possible. This includes preparing and facilitating scrum ceremonies, planning with the Product Owner, eliminating blockers, facilitating decision making, and conflict resolution. To streamline our work we use Jira and Confluence.
Our new Scrum Master is not only familiar with Jira, but also knows exactly how to use this tool to manage all projects. He/she monitors and reports progress and manages the scope and timeline of each project. To ensure that procedures are visible, accessible, and efficient, we work with Confluence
One of our core products is our modular portal. A scalable platform that helps us to provide our partners with a high-quality solution in no time.
