Application questions

When am I a fit for AOE, and when is AOE a fit for me?

If you see web development as a creative craft and love continuous learning as well as driving digitalization forward, then you are exactly right with us! We offer maximally flexible working conditions, attractive additional benefits, and a great working environment with numerous opportunities for personal development. Whether full-time, as a working student, or part-time, even remotely or in the office, everything fits.

What documents should my application include?

Just upload your CV briefly and off you go. Even though a cover letter is not really important to us, you are welcome to use the text field for a short accompanying message to us. There are no limits to this. If you already know someone at AOE or someone has recommended AOE to you, feel free to mention this as a comment in the "Your message" field.

To whom should I address my cover letter?

A formal cover letter is not a must with us! However, if you would still like to send us a few personal lines, we would be very happy. Simply address them to the "Recruiting Team" or select a contact person from our recruiting team here.

I haven't found a suitable job posting, can I apply on my own initiative?

Highly motivated IT experts are always in demand at AOE. So, feel free to apply on your own initiative. Follow this link.

Can I apply without a degree?

Of course. You don't need great grades or an impressive CV. Your experience, competence, and commitment are much more important to us than the way you acquired your knowledge.

I find several job postings interesting. What is the best way to proceed?

If you find several positions exciting at our company, do not hesitate to apply for all that interest you. Later, in a personal conversation, we will get to know you and your skills and then decide together which team and role would be the best fit for you.

What should I expect from a "Work Sample"?

We usually send you a trial task after a successful recruiting interview. By solving the task, you show us your expertise and at the same time test what it would be like to work with us. A "Work Sample" is not about finding the perfect solution for us. Rather, we are interested in how you approach challenges, which solution approach you choose, and what your working method looks like.

Can I also complete my internship at AOE?

We regularly have positions for working students or interns in different areas. It's best to check directly here.

Does AOE offer training positions?

Unfortunately, no. Currently, we offer various opportunities for students, such as a dual study program or internship, as well as jobs for working students. Feel free to check here for more information.

Where and how securely are my application data stored?

Received applications are protected by high technical and organizational measures. If an employment contract is concluded, the data will be stored in accordance with legal requirements and used for onboarding and the establishment of the employment relationship. If no employment occurs, your data will be deleted after the position is filled, unless there are legal retention obligations or other legitimate interests, such as proof obligations under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG), that prevent deletion. In any case, application documents will be deleted after six months at the latest if no further consents are given. More information on data protection at AOE can be found here.
