Software Engineer (m/f/d)

Our Mission:

Are you a motivated experienced person, used to working in an international multi-cultural environment, who really wants to make a difference in the open-source world? 

At Open-Xchange, we decided to leave dead-end jobs where you don't make an impact and offer passionate experts the opportunity to be part of an agile, international team that connects the world and millions of people by developing and delivering open-source technologies.  

We believe it’s crucial to work in an environment where people feel valued, are energized by their work and deliver added value – not only to colleagues, but also to everyone using our products.

Discover what Open-Xchange offers you:

• Our non-hierarchical organization not only ensures much better value creation for our customers, it also provides the best possible work environment for every one of us.

• We believe that everyone at OX will always do what is best for the company. There is a great potential in all of us that will enable us to strive. We believe that this potential can only be fully realized in an organizational structure that allows everyone to work with a clear focus and take full ownership of their work.

• At OX we focus a lot on mastery. It influences our decision-making processes and is a great part of how we look at professional development.

• We believe in openness and diversity is a very important aspect of that: We encourage each other to express different opinions. Diversity of thought, background, culture, and more is extremely important to the success of OX. We believe that by adding perspectives, we have the opportunity to better understand the bigger picture.

• At OX you'll be working with the whole tech stack, using open source technology, and playing your part in the fight against big, dominant companies to keep the Internet open.
