Join the Tutanota team

Mission

Hi, we are Tutanota, the most secure email and calendar service. Our mission is to bring privacy to the world and to enable everyone to store and mange their data in the cloud with zero tracking. For over a decade, we have developed our product and built strong ties with privacy and open source communities.

Our service is used by millions of people around the world and we have been profitable since 2016. We are now in the process of turning our secure email service into an encrypted platform and for this we want to grow our international team. Our aim is to present an alternative to Big Tech and to make privacy simple and accessible for all.

Meet Our Team

Tutanota is a young, profitable company of 15+ passionate freedom fighters from over five countries. Together, we are on a mission to show the world that protecting privacy can be simple.

We are an international team closely working together at our office in Hanover, Germany, with English being our main work language.

We value a variety of backgrounds and life experiences in our team, and we celebrate a diversity of ethnicity, culture, gender, and sexuality. We embrace diverse perspectives and seek self-motivated individuals.

Team Players

We enjoy working together in our offices in Hanover as much as possible. We believe that being together in one location is much more efficient and also more fun. Nevertheless, we offer flexible and family-friendly conditions to meet your individual situation. We also take on working students from time to time (we don't offer relocation in this case).

Our software developers generally work in pairs, which has many advantages including catching mistakes early and spreading knowledge amongst the team. We use scrum to quickly deliver new features and improvements to our users. Important decisions are discussed as a team, so everyone can have a great influence on the development of Tutanota.

Benefits

• A high level of personal responsibility in a growing team
• Family-friendly and flexible working conditions
• A transparent, non-discriminatory salary
• An open company and feedback culture
• Ergonomic workplaces with a view of greenery and water
• Fresh fruit and coffee in the office
• Team events and regular ice cream days

Tutanota is fighting for freedom of speech, and against mass-surveillance online. You will be a part of an important movement with a meaningful and influential role

Fair pay

Everyone at the same professional level earns the same pay regardless of factors like ethnicity, gender, and age.

Our fair salary model is based on factors that can be measured for everyone, such as education and professional experience. This means that there is no longer any salary negotiation, but an automatic salary increase that we recalculate every year.

Tools

• We primarily use Typescript for the client code and Java in the backend. We also use Kotlin for Android, Swift for iOS, and some other languages here and there.
• The IDEs of our choice are WebStorm and IntelliJ.
• Jenkins is our continuous integration servant.
• We use git as version control system. You can inspect our open source client code here.
• We collect all important information in our Confluence wiki which also allows us to work collaboratively from remote.

Love Hanover

Tutanota is proud to call the beautiful city of Hanover its home. Hanover is a middle-sized city in Germany with a relatively affordable cost of living, yet with a very high living standard. You have different parts of the town with nice parks and lakes, nightlife locations, multicultural areas and also the "Eilenriede", one of the largest urban forests in Europe.

Hanover is also well located as it is not far from Hamburg, Berlin or the North and Baltic Sea, as well as having some beautiful forests and mountains nearby.

We welcome people from abroad to apply with Tutanota. If you are currently living outside of Germany and need to relocate to Hanover in order to join our team, we will help you with everything necessary. We also have experience with the blue card visa process to support you if you relocate from outside the EU.
