Who we are

Greenbone is a globally operating company developing open-source solutions for vulnerability analysis and management. Our products protect the digital infrastructures of organizations of all sizes by identifying security issues before they turn into real threats. We operate in a rapidly growing market and are driven by innovation, flat hierarchies, and a culture of openness. Trust, teamwork, and personal growth are central to how we work – as is a healthy work-life balance.

As support for our development teams, we are looking for a Senior C Software Engineer (m/f/d) with many years of practical experience who enjoys advancing and helping to shape solutions. Motivated, dynamic and diverse teams are waiting to benefit from your expertise.

We consider the human “fit”, a strong understanding of modern coding practices and structured problem-solving skills more important than mastering specific technologies. Therefore, feel free to apply even if you have only worked with some of our technologies.

• Promoting the team towards more effective and satisfying work by providing constructive input during daily work and retrospectives
• Supporting the product owners in designing meaningful user stories
• If interested, co-designing the future architecture
• If interested, mentoring less experienced or new colleagues.

What you offer

• Experience in solving backend structure problems/tasks on a larger scale
• Knowledge of the pros and cons of a solution and ability to discuss them
• Architecture knowledge and experience in breaking down bigger product visions into smaller development tasks
• Test automation knowledge
• You are communicative, open and eager to learn
• You enjoy new technologies and methods
