About Codesphere

Codesphere is a Virtual Cloud Provider from Germany building the future of sovereign cloud infrastructure. Our platform gives enterprises and governments full sovereignty without giving up modern cloud capability – a vision recently validated by a series of multi-million European government tenders.

Since our founding in Karlsruhe in 2020, we’ve expanded into an international team of 60+ experts. Based in Karlsruhe and Munich and backed by top-tier investors, we are chasing a bold vision.

We’re scaling fast and would love for you to join us and grow alongside us 🚀

What you'll drive

You own complex features end to end – from product discovery and planning through technical design, implementation, testing, and maintenance.

You conduct code and technical design reviews, raising the bar for quality across the team.

You mentor junior engineers and actively contribute to a culture of learning and growth.

You shape the capabilities of our collaborative developer cloud, working on features that improve the overall platform experience – including Public API, Usage History, IAM & Permission Management, Secrets Management, external CI integrations, Web IDE, deployment technology, monitoring, managed services, and the core internals of customer application deployment.
