Why Novatec?

Workation or Sabbatical?

We love our job, but even we get the wanderlust sometimes. How about a one month workation on Tenerife? Or would you prefer the 6 month round trip in Southeast Asia to completely switch off? It's up to you!

True flexibility

We do not have core working hours and 30 days of vacation are a matter of fact for us. When and where you work is always up to you. Whether full-time or part-time, your working time model must suit you.

Always mobile

Our mobility model gives you the freedom to choose. Would you prefer a company car or a public transport ticket? We subsidize both. (E-)bike leasing is available on top if you wish.

Room for innovation

We are not only dedicated to our customers, but also to personal projects of the heart, our own further development, trying out new technologies... So you also have the space for things that develop you personally and you enjoy.

Modern tech stack

Within our guilds, we stay current with developments around modern languages and frameworks such as Kotlin, Go and Micronaut. We pass this knowledge on to our customers and ensure that they are among the early adopters technologically.

We make you feel good

Our certified Feelgood Management has set itself the mission to give our employees the opportunity to contribute their ideas and wishes and to let them participate in the design and development of Novatec. We believe that this will help us to achieve our goal of developing motivated, satisfied and happy employees who live this spirit in their teams and carry it into their customer projects.
Our persons of trust are also your first point of contact for all issues that you may not want to approach your manager or team with. They serve as neutral contact persons if there are topics that are very sensitive, e.g. because they concern you, your private or professional environment.

Sustainability & Social Responsibility

We want to live up to our social responsibility as a company. Sustainability is one of our core values. As a common good economy balanced company, we are committed to also measuring our success against criteria such as human dignity, solidarity, ecological sustainability, social justice, democratic co-decision-making and transparency.
One example of our social projects is the "SOS@Home" project, in which we worked with a start-up to create a platform for children and young people who need a place to turn to in the event of domestic violence. We are a paperless company, have a recycling process for our hardware, deposit collection garbage cans from Trottwar and use only green electricity.

Our core technologies

Our Novatecies can proudly say: We always work with the latest technologies and like to try things out. Our frontend developers prefer to work with React, Angular or Vue.js. In the backend, we prefer Java as well as Kotlin and like to work with frameworks like Spring, Quarkus or Micronaut. Our cloud guild loves AWS and Azure and also enjoys playing around with Kubernetes CRDs. The agile guild of course swears by Scrum, but also likes to use Kanban or "Scrumban" where it makes sense. In the data environment, we use data visualization tools such as PowerBI, analytical databases like Snowflake and Python as the basis of our work.

Wellbeing@Novatec

Wellbeing@Novatec means satisfied and balanced employees, mindfulness toward oneself and others and physical-psychological and social health.
With voiio, we offer all employees a platform that provides workshops, coaching and counseling for all situations and phases of life. We regularly evaluate the mental well-being of our employees through risk assessments of mental stress and offer mental health training. The Wellbeing Program is rounded off by our weekly yoga classes, the mobile massage, the JobBike and our Buddy Program.

Your perfect start

Whether it's an internship, working student position, apprenticeship or permanent position, your journey as a new Novatecie starts with our two-day "Welcome Days". These usually take place on site at our headquarters in Leinfelden-Echterdingen. There you will get exciting insights into the different departments as well as all the information you need for a smooth start at Novatec.
And most importantly: joint lunches and get-togethers allow you to network with the other newbies as well as with colleagues who are already employed at Novatec!

Frequently asked questions

Here you will find answers to the most frequently asked questions

What do I have to attach to my application? 

In the first step, your resume is enough for us.

I have questions regarding the application. Who can I contact?

When will I receive the first feedback about my application?

You will receive the first feedback from us within 7 days.

Are all of your positions also available on a part-time basis? 

Every position can be staffed on a part-time basis. For some positions, especially in internal service areas, a certain minimum number of hours is required. The best thing to do is to tell us in your application how many hours you would like to work.

Is there a dress code?

No, internally we live by the motto "come as you are". So you can dress how you feel comfortable. For external appointments with customers, it is important for us to present a well-groomed appearance.

How does my salary develop? 

Within our established salary process, an annual salary review takes place for each employee.

Do I need to send a cover letter? 

No, a cover letter is not necessary. If you like, you can still send us one. A resume is sufficient for us.

To whom can I address my application? 

You do not need to address your application to anyone explicitly. It is sufficient if you address it to the Talent Acquisition Team of Novatec.

What happens in the telephone interview and who will I talk to on the phone? 

In the telephone interview, you will speak with your responsible Talent Acquisition Manager. After you have both introduced yourselves, you will clarify initial questions (from both sides) as well as framework parameters of the position.

Does the recruiting process take place remotely or on-site? 

We conduct every recruiting process 100% remotely. The reason for this is that both the candidate and our colleagues are located all over Germany. If you would like to meet on site, we will of course make this possible.

Can I also work abroad for a certain period of time?

Yes, you can! With our workation model, you have the possibility to work abroad in the EU for up to 20 working days twice a year. Due to our location in Granada, even 40 working days per year are possible for the whole Spain country.

How much do I travel? 

Unfortunately, there is no universal answer for this. Depending on the customer's request and the project circumstance, the travel time varies. Therefore, a certain willingness to travel is necessary for each of our consulting as well as software engineering positions.
