freiheits.com technologies was founded in Hamburg in the midst of the first internet boom in the last millennium in 1999. Since then, we’ve been building custom software platforms and helping our clients to create their future business models based on software. For over a quarter of a century, we have been working for the “Who’s Who” of German and European industry and business. Retail, automotive, e-commerce, healthcare and more. Our large‑scale software platforms are used by millions of users every day. Each product has a business‑critical, strategic relevance for our clients. Together we make “mission impossible” possible. We are a team of 250+ members with people from all over the world. In our engineering hubs in Hamburg and Lisbon we come together to create things that no one has built before. Our teams work data‑driven to constantly optimize their own productivity by removing friction from their work. Each member takes on end‑to‑end responsibility for their work. To be successful, you need to be productive. To be productive, you need to be efficient and effective. Technology never rests. Neither do we.
