  • Be a part of our agile working style: Our open communication and quick decision-making processes allow our teams to work autonomously for the most part.
  • We offer a flexible work location: You can work in one of our modern Unite offices or remotely – or even do a mix of both.
  • Workation: You can work abroad for up to 2 months, which is a great way to extend your time away or visit your family and friends in other countries.
  • Enjoy our Unite culture: We invite you to be yourself, join our table tennis league or online games and have fun.
  • We think long-term: You can and absolutely should invest an average of 10% of your working time into self-education and your own further training – that’s why we are great believers in offering creative freedom. You’ll also get access to our internal learning platform to grow your career.
  • Build with a rich and evolving technology ecosystem: AWS, Spring Boot, Kafka, Terraform or Wicket are just a few to mention. Also, we have a fully integrated CI/CD pipeline in GitLab.
