I once told myself I'd never join a big company — they're often so sluggish. Here the paths are short, and you can act faster because not every decision has to pass through five layers.
From the development and support team, since 2014
We're not always hiring — but always looking for the right people.
A specialized team, deep technical expertise — and we grow deliberately slowly. That means: here, every person, every contribution, every decision counts. If that sounds like you, get in touch.
Who we are
Specialist, not generalist.
Depth over breadth.
We build software for industrial data communication — not a mass-market business, but a specialized niche we've called home for over three decades. That shapes the way we work.
Here, a specialized, well-established team works on products used by more than 4,000 customers in over 60 countries — from mid-sized businesses to global corporations. That only works when everyone takes ownership, thinks along, and helps decide.
What you won't find here: long decision paths, faceless hierarchies, interchangeable roles. What you will find: direct customer contact, short paths, real responsibility from day one — and colleagues who know what they're talking about.
One detail that matters to us: on our team, women are the majority. In industrial automation, that's still the exception.
We're part of an established group of companies. That gives us stability without giving up the speed and independence of a specialized team.
What awaits you
Concrete conditions.
No buzzwords, no vague promises — just what really applies here. Anyone who wants to know more, just asks. We're transparent.
36-hour full-time
A full working week means 36 hours with us — with the option to increase to up to 40 if you like. Flextime from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m., breaks managed on your own responsibility. 30 days of vacation. Plus vacation bonus and tiered Christmas bonus.
Remote work
Up to 3 days per week from home — after the probation period and by individual arrangement. We cover part of your equipment costs and reimburse annual operating costs. At least two on-site days keep us together as a team.
What I like most: the remote work and the freedom. No micromanagement, no just ticking off tasks — instead, you get to contribute and put a bit of personality into the products.
From the development team
Compensation & bonuses
Fixed salary based on a structured pay-grade system (EG01–EG15+) — following the job-evaluation framework of the metal and electrical industry. Plus an additional vacation bonus per vacation day and a tiered Christmas bonus based on length of service.
Development & training
Up to €1,000 per year for training — fully covered by us, with no commitment period. For larger measures up to €5,000, we share the cost. Plus 5 days of paid leave per year and structured development reviews.
Ownership
You get tasks, not step-by-step instructions. How you solve them is up to you — colleagues help when you get stuck. No micromanagement, no reporting overhead.
You're given a task — and how you carry it out is up to you. When you get stuck, your colleagues help. But you don't have to follow a straight line.
From the development team
Equipment
Modern hardware, multiple screens as needed, free choice between Mac and Windows. Ergonomic workstations. A fully equipped kitchen with a fully automatic coffee machine, water dispenser, snacks, and fruit. Dogs are welcome in Weiden.
Plus the little things
Corporate benefits, JobRad bike leasing, a birthday shopping voucher, an Eventim voucher at the start of the year, anniversary bonuses. New Year's party with partners. Regular team lunches.
What our team says
Recognized — by the people who ought to know.
In autumn 2025, we took part in the Traumfirma Award ("Dream Company"). The evaluation is based on an anonymous survey of our employees — not on management's own account. That means the ratings come directly from the team that works together every day in Weiden and Regensburg.
In 2025, we were recognized as a Traumfirma ("Dream Company"). Here are three values that matter especially to us — and how they compare to the IT/software industry.
88%
Teamwork
of our employees say that collaboration within the department works very well.
82%
Little negative stress
experience little negative stress at work. Reality for us, rare in the industry.
+23 points above the IT/software industry average87%
Three years and beyond
want to still be working at Traeger three years from now — an honest statement of loyalty.
Our overall score is 81% — above the IT/software industry average (78%), but not yet among the top group (87%). For us, that's no reason to rest on our laurels. It's a reason to keep getting better — for our team and for everyone who joins us.
The profiles we're always glad to hear from
Even when nothing is posted right now.
We're not always hiring — but for these profiles, an unsolicited application is almost always worthwhile. And if your profile isn't listed here but you feel this describes you: reach out anyway.
Software development
C# and C++, OPC UA, industrial protocols. From backend logic to SDK architecture to UI components — depth over breadth, quality over speed.
Technical customer support
Resolving inquiries, analyzing problems, developing solutions. Direct contact with machine builders and integrators worldwide, with empathy and technical depth.
Sales & customer consulting
Advising international industrial customers, preparing tailored quotes, with technical understanding as the foundation. From first contact to long-term support.
Working student & internship
Hands-on experience alongside your studies in engineering, business, or the natural sciences. Real tasks instead of busywork, often a springboard to a permanent position later on.
We're a young team. We take on working students and interns, and we want to grow. There's plenty of opportunity here.
