About the Company

freiheit.com was founded in 1999 in Hamburg and has since been developing custom large-scale software products. Our mission is: “Ship great software”.

Over more than two decades, we have always delivered what we promised – “always on time, on budget, on target and on quality”.

85% of our members are software engineers with degrees in computer science, physics, or mathematics, many with solid knowledge in machine learning and artificial intelligence.

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 products are used by millions of users daily and are crucial for the economic success of our clients. Each product is business-critical and of strategic importance.

Together, we make “mission impossible possible”.

Our team consists of 300+ members from around the world. In our offices in Hamburg and Lisbon, we build products that no one has ever developed before.

Our teams work data-driven to constantly optimize their own productivity. Each team member takes “end-to-end” responsibility for their work. To be successful, you must be productive. To be productive, you must be efficient and effective.

Technology never rests. Neither do we.

About Your Job

We firmly believe that security is a technical issue. Therefore, we believe that only a true engineer can be responsible for security at freiheit.com. Only if you know how things work can you design processes and guidelines to keep us and our data safe and secure.
You design and implement the infrastructure so that you can introduce simple, yet reliable and secure processes and guidelines.
Since you are an engineer at heart, you write code to automate manual tasks. You know that this is the only way.
You are also responsible for our ISMS (Information Security Management System) and ensure that it is always up-to-date and that the rules and regulations in the ISMS are meaningful and helpful. You also work with our Data Protection Officer to ensure that we comply with the GDPR.
You empower our members by teaching them about security. Both by designing training and by supporting them in creating a secure infrastructure in their projects.
This job profile is a great opportunity for software engineers who want to expand their skills towards security and compliance and also want to work strategically.
We also believe that a little bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder could be helpful ;-). At least, you should have a strong desire to do things right and be very meticulous in your work.

About Our Community

The answer to the question of why someone works here is often: “because of the people” and “because I have never learned so much in my life”.

We believe that productive people are happy people.

In our engineering hubs in Hamburg and Lisbon, you will meet people from all over the world.

Here you have the opportunity to work with intelligent people on exciting tasks and implement projects from idea to delivery – end-to-end.

A true expert in their field does not become overnight – it takes years of hard work and continuous learning. As a member of our community, a lot is expected of you, and no one can do the work for you.

Our company is a place where you can become the best version of yourself.

We do not offer purely remote positions. We work in the office five days a week.
