Join IRIS. Empower research, leverage big data, and build the next generation of spatial resilience platforms in Germany.
Seamless relocation support via the German "Chancenkarte" (Opportunity Card) — fast-track your move to Europe.
Work with cutting-edge open-source tech stacks, sovereign cloud ecosystems, and world-class supercomputing clusters.
Based at the intersection of academic excellence and national-scale engineering — where research meets real-world impact.
The IRIS Institute (Institut für Raumordnung und Infrastruktur) is a forward-thinking, data-sovereign research organization dedicated to analyzing and securing critical high-tech systems and spatial structures across Germany. We bridge the gap between academic brilliance and massive real-world application, turning terabytes of raw data into resilient national systems.
We don't build CRUD apps — we architect the digital backbone of Germany's spatial and infrastructural intelligence.
All systems are cloud-free, compartmentalized, and engineered to the highest security standards.
Our teams combine PhD-level research rigor with production-grade engineering discipline.
Our outputs directly inform policy, civil protection, and critical infrastructure resilience across Germany.
Forget boring daily maintenance tasks. At IRIS, you will tackle deep, meaningful engineering challenges. We build cloud-free, highly secure ecosystems that process national-scale datasets.
Correlating massive spatial, environmental, and infrastructural data streams — ATKIS, ALKIS, and live satellite feeds — to generate actionable national intelligence.
Deploying next-gen AI systems to build, optimize, and secure automated API connectors at unprecedented speed and scale.
Running heavy-duty simulations on world-class GPU clusters and advanced scientific compute infrastructure — real HPC, not cloud VMs.
Architecting ultra-secure, compartmentalized enterprise frameworks (Odoo core systems) integrated with dedicated private vaults — zero third-party exposure.
While our core research focuses on securing critical high-tech hubs and quantum computing centers, our daily output creates immediate, measurable societal value.
We power a nationwide system protecting local agriculture and civil protection agencies from extreme weather and climate anomalies. Your code will literally save lives and livelihoods.
Protecting Germany's emerging quantum computing centers from physical and digital threats — work that defines the next decade of national resilience.
Real-time data pipelines that feed into federal and regional decision-making on land use, disaster response, and infrastructure planning.
Core tooling and datasets are contributed back to the open-source and academic communities — your work compounds beyond IRIS.
We know that relocating across the globe can be daunting. That is why we fully embrace the new German "Chancenkarte" (Opportunity Card) framework to fast-track your journey — and we handle the heavy lifting.
End-to-end guidance on your visa and work permit application — from document checklists to embassy appointment prep.
Flexible, modular tasks allow you to start contributing and earning before you physically relocate to Germany.
Practical support for housing, registration (Anmeldung), health insurance, and integration into the vibrant German tech ecosystem.
For qualifying candidates, we actively support the EU Blue Card route — offering long-term residency security and a clear path to permanent settlement.
Join a team of international engineers who have already made the move — peer support from day one.
We are looking for exceptional, mission-aligned engineers and scientists who want to work on problems that matter at a national scale. Two core profiles define our ideal candidates:
Brilliant backend engineers who treat architecture like fine art. You understand deep framework customization, ORM internals, module inheritance, and can design enterprise-grade systems that are both secure and extensible.
Minds that love finding patterns in complex, unstructured spatial datasets. You orchestrate AI code-generation agents, work with geospatial libraries, and thrive in high-dimensional data environments.
