Our collaboration is hybrid.
We live hybrid collaboration. We work from home, from the OTTO Campus and from anywhere in Germany where we find the ideal conditions for our work - and that is a team decision.
Workation possible: You want to combine vacation and work? No problem: You can work 30 days from anywhere in Europe.
And of course, we adapt to your personal life model. Many of our tech jobs are also available on a part-time basis.
This is how we work together.
Working methods
We experiment with new technologies and are not afraid of technical challenges. In order to find solutions, we have developed principles of cooperation for ourselves that enable us to reach our goal together.
Agile methods
Better sorry than safe: We work in a highly agile manner according to the principle of "Test & Learn" and do not always adhere to a specific framework such as Kanban or Scrum, but continuously adapt the processes through retrospectives.
Cooperation
We use pair programming and regular feedback sessions to develop ourselves intensively. We let off steam at Slack Days or Slack Weeks - here we tackle topics and technologies that everyone can choose for themselves.
Core values
We are connected and guided by our values. Decency towards people, society and the environment is central to our work. Our cooperation is based on trust and transparency and we treat each other with respect.
Personal growth
You can develop professionally and personally. Digital learning platforms such as Masterplan and courses on Udemy help you to expand your skillset.
Tech Stack
The diversity of our tasks results in a highly heterogeneous use of technology, which differs from team to team. We like to experiment with new technologies and programming languages and weigh the benefits for us.
