Apprenticeship at cycos
If you love math... you'll love MATSE!
Have you always wanted to know why websites on the internet load as fast or slow as they do? How it's possible that all servers are overloaded when starting the latest hyped online game? How the big streaming providers manage to present new content to everyone simultaneously? How to plan, build and which different roles and people are necessary to realize large software projects?
Sounds exciting? We're glad to hear that! Software is made by people and therefore it's important to us that:
- You have your own opinion and are able to share it openly and honestly in a constructive way with others.
- You're not one to do it alone and are able to get along with others and achieve something together.
- You're interested in working with international teams and are willing to communicate in English.
- You're curious and able to acquire new knowledge independently. If you identify with all of the above, an apprenticeship or dual study program with us could be just right for you:
Fachinformatiker Anwendungsentwicklung (m/w/d)
- Have you successfully completed school?
- Have you already dealt with programming a bit and can imagine spending a lot of time in front of the screen while learning how to handle complex software projects?
- Do you enjoy tinkering with problems and finding solutions to complex tasks?
- Can you follow logical processes? Then the apprenticeship as an IT specialist in application development is definitely for you!
Mathematisch Technischer Softwareentwickler (m/w/d)
- Have you also achieved a general or specialized university entrance qualification?
- Do you enjoy solving tricky mathematical problems?
- Do you want to earn a Bachelor of Science (BSc) degree in addition to your IHK certification?
- Are you not afraid of bigger challenges? Then you're exactly right for the profession of mathematical technical software developer!

- Development of web applications using current internet technologies
- Provision of high-performance server applications
- Programming languages in all flavors, such as C#, JavaScript, Python, Java, or sometimes C
