About the Company

We are a Software-Consulting startup located in Hamburg, Germany. We always strive to leave a footprint wherever we are.

We have an extensive knowledge of software development to deliver high quality software or consulting services to our customers. We advise our customers especially in cloud developments as well as transformations, architectural redesigns and partly development tasks. Our strengths lie in the technologies Java (especially Microservice frameworks), GitOps approaches with Kubernetes, use of Hyperscalers (especially AWS), Infrastructure as Code (such as Terraform), automation with pipelines for continuous deployments, and much more.

Our offering consists of two pillars.

The first pillar describes our ambition for technical excellence. We develop software and architectures of the highest quality. We optimize the "time to market" times of your application while maintaining the highest quality standards and levels of automation. At the same time, we are aware that the quality requirements must be in proportion to the economic situation of the product and avoid over-engineering through healthy pragmatism and our can-do attitude.

The second pillar describes our approach to teams and people in our day-to-day collaboration. Not only do we bring your software up to date, but we also change the mindset of your employees and empower your teams to make the right decisions and adapt behaviors to a cloud-native environment. Through lead, coaching and mentoring roles, we know that sustainable change in companies must be supported by everyone.

We always act as a team for our customers. There will be no body leasing or solo entertainers with us. We believe in identification with the values and the team of StepBeyond.

In addition to project work, we are building a working environment with StepBeyond in which personal goals are pursued, the focus is on continuous development and being human is also a key factor. Examples of our internal collaboration include the StepBeyond Camp, in which we spontaneously address a voted topic each time (bar camp character). This can be a business idea, a further development of StepBeyond or something that spontaneously pops into your head. There are no limits to creativity. We also develop individual development & education plans for each of our employees, which we use to match project assignments. We are constantly evolving and adapting our procedures and routines accordingly.
