Jobs
Let's build something great together.
Thousands of customers like Apple, Google, or Ebay use our work on a daily basis.
We are very fortunate to know that we make a difference in the lives of our customers.
We love to create software that matters.
Who We Are
We are a team driven by values.
Not the ones that look nice on a poster, but ones that are truly and honestly lived.
-
TrustWe believe our colleagues make good & fair decisions.
For example when they take as many vacation days as they need (there's no maximum number of holidays, but a minimum of 24 days). Or when they handle company money responsibly (you can make any purchases without asking for permission). We don't control or micro-manage people.
-
ReliabilityAt Tower, you're allowed to make any decision.
Even if it's outside of your typical scope of duty. As a consequence, however, you also have to accept responsibility. We rely on our teammates to do their very best work.
-
RespectWe have a deep and sincere respect for each other.
Both on a professional and on a personal level. We know we can achieve great goals only with the help of our peers.
-
HumilityWe do what's best for the team.
This shows when you're supporting a team decision even if you'd prefer something else. It's not important who's right or wrong... what's important is that we try to find the best solution, together!
-
HealthWe require everyone to give 100%.
But not more than that! Working long hours or weekends is rarely seen at Tower. If you want, you can even choose to work only a 4-day week. We encourage you to pursue a life beyond work and offer a family-friendly environment (most of us have kids)!
-
PragmatismWe concentrate on the tasks that matter.
Many things at Tower could be improved. But reality limits our time and energy in a painful way. To get meaningful work done, we need to live with countless little annoyances and concentrate on the things that bring us forward.
-
GrowthAll of us have a strong desire to grow.
And we want to help you achieve this. On the professional and on the personal, human level.
-
Remote WorkWe are strong believers in freedom & flexibility.
Therefore, you can work from wherever you want. In order to keep in touch, however, we meet in person at least once every quarter: for our "General Assemblies" in Frankfurt or Berlin, and for our great team retreats in places like Corsica or Barcelona.
Is this a culture that resonates with you?
Can you contribute something to make our team even better?
Yes and yes?!? Then please get in touch!
