About Our Company

freiheit.com’s software engineers have been building large-scale software systems since 1999. We are internet pioneers and have delivered hundreds of projects for our customers that are used by millions of users with thousands of requests per second. In the last two decades, we have been constantly reinventing and improving ourselves. Self-improvement and learning are deeply ingrained into our company's DNA and in the personality of all of our team members. We tackle new and interesting problems all the time and very often create things that nobody has built before.

At heart, we are an unusual, innovative, and bold engineering company. 85% of our people are engineers with backgrounds in Computer Science, Physics, or Mathematics, many also with strong machine learning backgrounds. We hire the top-ranking students directly from university or from their first work experience and actively develop them to become well-rounded software engineers. From our Engineering Hubs in Hamburg and Lisbon, we work for large and mid-sized companies to reinvent their future with technology.

About Our Community

In our Engineering Hubs in Hamburg and Lisbon, you will meet people from all over the world, different cultures, colors, languages, genders, and lifestyles. We celebrate diversity and openness. When you ask anybody why they are working here, it is pretty likely that people will say “because of the people” and “because I have never learnt so much in my life”. Our company is a place to be yourself, aim high, take care of each other, and grow without limits.

Of course, we have a beautiful office in a very nice area of each city, a place to hang out and play pool and have fun with your team members. But more important is that we offer you the ability to work on interesting things and own a complete large-scale project from idea to implementation and operations. You have the opportunity to learn from senior engineers, work in a well-organized and well-managed company, and start a fulfilling career in tech.

P.S.: Although we visit our customers regularly, all team members are working mainly from Hamburg or Lisbon and not on the customers’ premises.
