• Traveling for business roughly once a month, either to clients or to the company’s headquarters in Germany.

Requirements:

• Professional experience: At least 2 years of relevant software development experience (prior experience in this specific industry is not required);
• Technical skills: Strong, hands-on C# development for Windows;
• Preferred skills: Practical familiarity with C++ on Linux and XAML is a real plus;
• Language skills: Fluent Italian and fluent English are both required to bridge communication between local customers and the German teams (knowledge of German is not required);
• Interpersonal skills: Strong social skills and the ability to build trust with Italian customers and stakeholders.

What’s on offer:

• Compensation: Starting gross annual salary (RAL) in the range of 38,000 to 44,000 euros, with clear, objective-based steps for growth;
• Holidays: 26 days of holiday per year;
• Training: An initial 3 weeks of training and onboarding at the German headquarters to get properly up to speed;
• Flexibility: A hybrid work setup with 1 to 2 days of remote work per week once settled in;
• Opportunity: Direct exposure to a solid international company with a real chance to help shape what Sontheim becomes in Italy.
