Werkstudierende Software Engineering (Python, Kubernetes, OpenID Connect)

We develop software for Identity & Access Management based on open standards such as OpenID Connect and OAuth 2.0 – vendor-neutral, interoperable and capable of being operated independently. We are looking for working students to join our development team who want to gain real-world software development experience alongside their studies: using Python, Linux, databases and containers, on a product that is in active use. We’ll teach you the IAM expertise. What you should bring to the role: a solid foundation, curiosity and a commitment to writing clean code.

Your responsibilities

• Working as part of the development team – with your own clearly defined features and tasks
• Developing backend services and APIs using Python (FastAPI, Django)
• Data models, migrations and SQL queries (PostgreSQL, MySQL, etc.)
• Automated testing and code reviews
• Docker images, CI/CD pipelines and deployments in Kubernetes
• Integration of login and single sign-on using OpenID Connect
  

Requirements

• Currently studying (Business) Computer Science, Software Engineering or a similar subject
• Some programming experience with Python – gained through your studies, a part-time job or personal projects; experience with Django or FastAPI is a plus
• Basic knowledge of Linux, SQL and Git
• An interest in Docker and Kubernetes – some experience is an advantage
• Interest in web protocols such as OpenID Connect and OAuth 2.0 – prior knowledge will give your career a real boost
• An engineering mindset: you want to understand why things work and aren’t satisfied with the first workaround
• Very good command of German; a good command of English is an advantage
• Self-motivation and the ability to work independently

What you’ll learn with us

• Professional software development as part of a team: code reviews, testing, CI/CD
• Containerisation and operations with Docker and Kubernetes
• OpenID Connect, OAuth 2.0 and other open standards relating to digital identities – from people who are actively involved in developing these standards
• Security by design
  

What we offer

• Practical ‘on-the-job’ training with experienced engineers and IAM experts
• The chance to work on a real product – your code goes into production
• Dedicated points of contact and regular feedback
• Flexible working hours tailored to your timetable
• Long-term prospects – even beyond your studies
