SENIOR SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT­ENGINEER IN TEST (SDET) (M/F/D)

Have you always wondered why our brain can easily process data into information - but digital information processing with databases is cumbersome and counterintuitive? Would you like to be there when a new type of information bank with cognitive approaches turns the world of data management upside down?
Then we are looking for you to build the future of knowledge from data and make our digital society more secure, trustworthy and transparent.
With this goal in mind, Pleodat GmbH was founded as a subsidiary of SPRIND (Federal Agency for Leap Innovations). Our starting point is the innovative database system CortexDB. You can find a small insight into the idea and the people behind it here (https://www.sprind.org/de/projekte/cortex-datenbank/).
In several agile teams we want to further develop the existing system so that the ingenious, cognitive approach can reach a broad market. For this we need you, your experience and your ideas!
