We're small, honest, based in Herne. We look for people who love craft more than hype, and who value trust more than foosball tables. Work with us and you own real responsibility from day one.
No OKR workshops, no tribe-squad-chapter structures, no weekly reorganisation. We speak plainly and get to work.
We take on few people, but give them real responsibility. Whoever starts here has client contact and their own topics from day one.
40 hours are 40 hours. Overtime is the exception, not the model. The weekend is the weekend. Holiday is holiday.
We're small, and we stay that way on purpose. That means no classic career path. In return: everyone shapes what and how we build.
We have our preferences (Java, Spring). But if another stack fits better, we talk about it. Pragmatism beats religion.
A high share of remote work is possible by arrangement – as long as the results are there. We measure output, not attendance.
You build software with us that runs in production at German mid-sized companies. Java, Spring Boot, MariaDB. Experience with integrations, clean code, thinking along instead of just working tickets.
You build on-premise AI solutions with us for regulated industries. Experience with open-source LLMs (Llama, Qwen, Mistral), RAG pipelines, vector databases and MLOps. With a focus on data sovereignty and productive use.
You understand mid-market processes and can assess software. You facilitate workshops, write clearly understandable concepts and guide projects from discovery to go-live. Willingness to travel within the Ruhr region is a must.
No matching role? We're glad to receive speculative applications too. info@pixelschnitzel.com
No time clock, no micromanagement. We know you're working.
Whoever delivers works from wherever they want. A high share of remote work is possible – as long as the output is there.
30 days as standard, plus bridge days. Holiday without a guilty conscience.
Books, conferences, courses: whatever you really need, you get.
Send me a short note on what you bring and what interests you. Florian reads every application personally. Reply within 3 business days.
We get to know each other. You ask, I ask, both decide whether it fits. No whiteboard quiz, no stress test, no quizzing on obscure trivia.
We work together on a real piece of work. You see us, we see you. Contract or rejection by the next day at the latest, in writing.
Drop us a line or book a first call right away. We listen, ask the right questions and tell you honestly whether we can help.
