Technological Depth Instead of Superficial Testing.
For more than two decades, we have been securing highly scalable software systems and international e-commerce platforms.
We are not a traditional IT consultancy, but specialists in test automation as well as load and performance testing. Our culture is built on technical curiosity, flat hierarchies, and the drive to not just use tools, but to develop them ourselves—such as our own open-source framework XLT.
How We Work
Trust-Based Working Hours & Hybrid Work
The focus is on results. We work in a hybrid setup—either in our office overlooking the rooftops of Jena or remotely from home. Your working hours adapt to your life, not the other way around.
Free Tool & Hardware Choice
Linux, macOS, or Windows? You decide what makes you most productive. We work with modern open-source stacks, cloud infrastructures, and choose the tools that solve the problem best.
Continuous Learning
QA and performance engineering are evolving rapidly. We support attending industry conferences, encourage certifications, and dedicate time to internal knowledge transfer and code reviews.
Focus on the Essentials
We skip rigid corporate structures and bureaucratic processes. What matters here are direct communication channels, technical collaboration on equal footing, and reliable teamwork.

Full house! Well, not quite.
However, since project requirements and technologies in our industry evolve rapidly, we are always interested in connecting with experienced QA specialists, test automation experts, and performance engineers. If you share our technological vision, a chat is almost always worthwhile—even if a potential start date lies in the future.
Nevertheless, we are always eager to meet experts in the fields of software testing and QA. Let's stay in touch: Connect with us on LinkedIn so you will be the first to know when we are hiring again.
