Job Description

We are grandcentrix. We make IoT happen.

With curiosity, tech enthusiasm and expertise, we create IoT solutions. As a team of 200 minds, we develop reliable products and individual solutions – end-to-end or specifically where our tech stack supports the connection of devices.
Our origins lie in successful customer projects. We brought the Toniebox safely into children's rooms worldwide and turned a smart photography vision into reality for the Leica FOTOS app.
Our competencies range from embedded systems to backend, frontend and app development. Utilizing this know-how, we developed grandcentrix products to enable e.g. (industrial) customers without IoT knowledge to connect their devices, collect and use data. That's what drives us.
As a subsidiary of Vodafone, we operate independently and quickly. Together, we contribute to unlock the opportunities of IoT.
