Our Jobs for you
Innovation is driving us forward...
…and in the team we grow beyond ourselves. Since our foundation in 1999, we have been involved in the development of modern information systems. We love complex challenges, exciting projects and appreciate our colleagues. 😊 And our heart for open source software beats all alongside. Let us shape the future together. You may find something for you in our job offers.
Why initOS?
Our team is as diverse as the IT of our customers. We have always been international and speak several different languages in our team. And yes, by that we mean languages that people speak with each other. We do most of our work at our development site in Magdeburg, but we also have an office south of Hamburg. Self-realization and team spirit are not just phrases for us – they are lived and promoted through joint events!
Family friendliness is very important to us: Home office is possible at any time and private appointments in the middle of the day are no problem at all. We are particularly proud of our sickness policy: you can stay at home for two days without a sick bill if you get sick. The well-being of our team is also very important to us, which is why we select our customers very carefully. Some simply don’t fit in with us and our values.

Working with real customers on real-world problems presents a variety of challenges that require clear decisions. While we are dealing with purely technical concepts such as data, algorithms, code and services, the problems we tackle ultimately go beyond these definitions.
In the real world, the problems are multidimensional and multivariable. There are no perfect solutions and the sheer complexity is enormous. Be it in the raw data amount, the variations in work processes or the different (and sometimes also divergent) desired results. Urgent problems in practice need quick solutions. That is, they have to function before we have time to perfect them. So we have to make sophisticated and creative decisions, and quickly.
Therefore, in addition to the concrete approach to solving the problem, it is also important that you can explain and explain alternatives and compromises.
We focus on you, not on your clothes. So dress what you feel most comfortable with.
Be yourself! We are looking for unique talents that are intelligent, adaptable and ready to be part of a closely working team.
If you are confronted with our questions in the application interview, do not be afraid to ask questions if you are uncertain.
We are looking forward to your questions!
