When we started in 2007 with a simple idea, it was not foreseeable that today this large number of employees at international locations are working on the development of our successful EHSQ & ESG software. This joint achievement makes me proud, based on dedicated, motivated teams and an appreciative working atmosphere. Thanks to all colleagues!

Chief Technology Officer

Who we are?
Our Software Development department consists of multiple cross-functional teams with specialists in various areas, such as Site Reliability Engineering, Software Architecture and Mobile Development.
The majority of our team members come from the Berlin region, with some working from home elsewhere. But no matter whether you work at home or in the office: We have a place for you!

Our headquarters is located in the lively district of Friedrichshain in Berlin, near the Ostkreuz S-Bahn station. The Quentic offices are spacious, but you won’t find an open-plan office atmosphere with us. Alongside various high-tech meeting spaces, we also have a top-floor fun space, which can be used for cooking, eating together and other (after-work) activities.
We support cross-departmental and cross-company collaboration and support employee initiatives such as meetups and Lunch-Roulette to help colleagues from different departments or countries get to know one another.

We work agile
Our goal is to develop our EHSQ software solution to meet the needs of our customers, placing special value on quality and reliability. We can only ensure seamless functionality from the Quentic Core to each individual module when all the gears mesh together. The Software Development team analyzes, plans, develops, and implements everything in the software. This is why we are divided up into Scrum teams that work cross-functionally.

We don’t just work to challenge our competitors; we work according to agile principles and values. And we live by the values defined in our Code of Inspiration: Ongoing improvement is only possible through learning. Of course, we’re not perfect, but we have fun learning and growing together as a team and also continuously driving our software forward. Where we’re headed is clear: European market leadership in EHSQ software!

Do you want to grow together with us in a culture of open feedback? Then send in your application today and become a part of Quentic’s success story! It’s not for nothing that our company culture has been independently verified multiple times as one of the top German ICT companies and in the Berlin-Brandenburg region.

We focus on diversity
Appreciation and mutual respect are two of our most deeply embedded core values. As a signee of the Charta der Vielfalt, we affirm our commitment to a workplace free of prejudice. Because we know: A diverse workforce only leads to one result - the best one!
FAQ

We in the software development department have been working agilely according to Scrum for years. Together as a company, we are also striving to remain as dynamic and flexible as we were in our start-up days, despite our growth. That is why we are continuously working on an open feedback culture in which the focus is placed on future progression. Whether in our regular face-to-face Career Talks, reviews or retros, we reflect on the past in order to become even better in the future.

Take one of our teams:
It consists of 5-6 Developers, 1 Software Tester (QA), 1 Product Owner and 1 Scrum Master. Our Scrum process includes the following points of our 2-week sprints:
- weekly refinement
- daily stand ups
- at the beginning of each sprint is a planning, which is followed by prioritization
- now each developer grabs a story and works on it on their development environment in a feature branch
- when the developer is done, i.e. our Definition of Done has been met, the story on the storyboard is moved to the status review pool
- the next step is a code review
- in addition, our build pipeline already runs automated tests, including e.g. static code analysis, code style checks and of course unit and integration tests
- after the code review the story is pushed into the QA pool
- at the end of the sprint a review by our stakeholders takes place, i.e. we present relevant stories to the management and department heads
In order to regularly optimize the work in the team, we conduct a retrospective with our Scrum Master at the end of each sprint.
-
We do back end development with PHP and Symfony. For front end, we use JavaScript, TypeScript and React.
-
We currently use Postman, PHPUnit and Playwright.
-
Currently most of us work on a laptop with Windows 10.
BUT
If you prefer, you can also roll out a Linux environment via Docker.
We are evaluating new possibilities, e.g. Linux or Mac.
