We publish the world’s most influential journals and our global IT function drives the innovative digital services we offer our customers.

In the context of our digital strategies, in Berlin we develop new software and optimise our global platforms (e.g. Springer.com, Apress.com, Palgrave.com eCommerce, springernature.com springerprofessional.de, medwirenews.com, springermedizin.de, kardiologie.org). Together with colleagues in London, Pune and New York we work to ensure that our customers enjoy access to individual content – every single day and from anywhere in the world. Our working philosophy is agile and highly motivated embedded in a vital and dynamic publishing group.

The two sides of your job: between daily thrills and a healthy work-life balance

You’ll contribute to challenging but successful projects, while keeping the needs and interests of the user at the heart of your considerations. You’ll use cutting-edge technology to build applications that simply blow our customers away. And nevertheless, at the end of the day you’ll be home in time for dinner!

These three Key Practices shape our actions:

• Agile promise: We roll out high-quality services in brief intervals and constantly work to improve our processes and ourselves
• Collective code ownership: Every team member is welcome to and expected to participate – and that includes decision-making processes
• We actively practice shared responsibility for every link of the tool chain for infrastructure, software quality, delivery and operations. Each of our passionate developers has the opportunity to familiarise themselves with and improve every aspect of our system
