Welcome to Inside Empolis!
Depending on the field you are working in, different strengths are required - from creative idea generators and numerical geniuses to code junkies and coffee jugglers - everyone brings their qualities to the table.
We are a diverse team of currently 236 Emponauts. The majority has a computer science background. But our team also includes economists, social scientists, humanities scholars, physicists, chemists, engineers, and mathematicians.
No matter what field, whether training, studies or career change, what counts for us: Is your passion!
Product Development & Project Management
Our development teams are divided into the areas of Product Development and Solution Delivery.
Our Product Development is responsible for further developing our platform and cloud products. Whereas in Solution Delivery, our platform products are implemented on a customer-specific level. In both areas, we look forward to experienced reinforcement. Whether as a specialist in data science and artificial intelligence or an expert in front-end or back-end development, we offer an agile working environment where your expertise makes a valuable contribution. Of course, we also promote young talents. As a junior software developer or junior DevOps engineer, you will be well supported in our teams and can expand your skills.
In addition, we offer project leaders and managers, product managers and consultants an exciting environment with renowned and globally leading customers from various industries.
Whether as a developer in a team or in direct customer contact - with us, you can put your skills to use, live out your solution-oriented creativity and grow with new challenges.

OUR METHOD: SCRUM
Since we work according to the proven agile Scrum method, you are also in good hands with us as a Scrum Master or Product Owner. Scrum defines a structured yet flexible development process that makes results visible quickly. This means a great deal of responsibility for our teams but, at the same time, a lot of fun at work.
TECHNOLOGIES AND CREATIVITY
In addition, our developers bring together proven technologies with new techniques as well as alternative solution approaches in the further development of products and in the implementation of new projects - such as the integration of modern NoSQL databases and graph databases, the interaction of the IAS with the lean scripting language Lua, among others, for the extension and configuration of knowledge management solutions, the use of the latest JavaScript frameworks such as Angular and Vue.js in the front-end for the development of contemporary web applications as well as JavaScript (Node.js) and Java with Springboot in the back-end and the use of portable productivity-enhancing libraries such as boost under C++.

Have a look at all our job offers!
Kaiserslautern
As part of the IT Campus, our headquarters in Kaiserslautern is not only easily accessible by all means of transport - car, public transport, bicycle - but is also located in very modern and bright premises. A total of three conference rooms are available for meetings, and in the chill room, a foosball table and a dartboard are waiting to be used for a little time-out.
As at all other locations, there is no lack of catering in the form of sweets or fruit, nor of coffee, tea and cold drinks. Various options in the vicinity ensure that no one goes hungry at lunchtime and that there is something for every taste.
After work, Kaiserslautern - or "Lautre", as the people of the Palatinate call it - offers everything your heart desires: whether you prefer to go to the cinema, go on a shopping spree after work or enjoy sports, you will definitely find what you are looking for in Lautre. The proximity to the Palatinate Forest also invites you to outdoor activities and wine tastings and offers a beautiful scenic backdrop. Or you can go for a beer in one of the many bars and pubs with one of your 100 colleagues working at our headquarters.
Office day: Tuesday
Bielefeld
Our Bielefeld office is located in the "Altstadt/Bielefeld-Mitte", close to the city and with excellent transport connections. We are sometimes not sure about whether Bielefeld really exists, but you will have to solve this riddle for yourself when you visit us.
In the former Dürkopp factory buildings, you will find offices, two conference rooms and two creative spaces. The kitchen, dining room and living room invite you to take cozy breaks in between - our 40 or so Emponauts feel right at home in the cozy atmosphere. And for those who like it a little more active, the table football in our lounge is a great place to play.
Bielefeld is not only the region's economic centre but also promises diverse opportunities in the leisure sector. Regardless of whether culture or sports are on your after-work programme, you definitely won't be disappointed. The enchanting old town of Bielefeld shows its charm, especially in the evening, and invites you to end the day in a good restaurant or bar.
Office day: Wednesday
Darmstadt
With around 50 Emponauts, something is always going on at the Darmstadt location. The office is close to the city centre and can be reached in about 15 minutes on foot or 10 minutes by public transport from the city centre and the train station. The bus/tram stop Kasinostraße is less than 5 minutes away.
There are two Emponaut groups at lunch:
1) The Mensa riders, who cycle to the TU Mensa and eat lunch together.
2) The rest eat together in the social room (brought or ordered).
Italian, Turkish and Vietnamese restaurants are also around the corner and are very popular with the Darmstadt Emponauts.
The charming office has a social room with a couch, table football and dartboard. Here, people relax in between games and gamble more often. Occasionally there are also board game evenings or whisky tastings. An absolute speciality in Darmstadt is the SaaS! 😉
Office day: Thursday
Würzburg
At the beginning of 2023, our Emponauts moved from Rimpar to the brand new office in Würzburg. The InnoHubs sets new standards and focuses on networking and innovation - quite fitting for us. The modern office is close to the University of Würzburg, and the FH campus is just a stone's throw away.
The most important kitchen utensil is the coffee machine, which has had to do a remarkable job in the last few years: 78,100 cups of coffee have been drunk by our 30 or so employees since it was purchased.
Due to the manageable number of employees, our location is characterised by a very familiar atmosphere - board game evenings or visits to the cinema are common here. In the evening, the beautiful city of Würzburg invites you to participate in various leisure activities. Especially in summer, you can end the day wonderfully with a glass of wine on the famous old bridge over the Main. And if that's not enough arguments in favour of Würzburg: As far as public holidays are concerned, "we Bavarians" are, of course, out of competition ...
Office day: Thursday
