Experiences from our teams
Which positions are you looking to fill at Maurer Electronics, Bundesdruckerei’s subsidiary in Hamburg?
We are primarily looking for software development specialists. We look forward to welcoming new colleagues with expertise in software development, system and software architecture, software testing and product ownership.
What do you recommend to applicants?
At Maurer, my colleagues and I have great fortune to be involved in exciting and important projects and to learn about the latest technologies. Future colleagues should therefore be keen to develop state-of-the-art software and hardware solutions for both the public and private sectors in a team-orientated work environment.
What makes working at Maurer special to you?
Maurer Electronics develops innovative products in a high-security environment that is setting standards worldwide. Our work is characterized by appreciation and modern agile methods. And we are part of Bundesdruckerei GmbH and this means that we closely coordinate all our projects and can rely on their support. I also appreciate the fact that Maurer offers me a host of professional development programmes.
How does collaboration at Maurer work?
Many of our teams use agile working methods. In my team, we use a classic scrum principle with a flexible role allocation, so that a software tester, for instance, can also integrate a feature. In general, we ensure that our teams can organize their work on their own. Teams hold biweekly meetings and look at what went well and what failed in order to achieve continuous improvement. These aspects can relate to content, but also to atmospheric issues.
Why did you choose Maurer?
Maurer Electronics develops exciting products that offer real added value to society. I was immediately able to identify with the topics, such as forgery-proof identity or the production of sovereign documents. What’s more, the employees I met during the application process were very friendly and competent – a mix I liked very much.
What do you particularly enjoy doing at Maurer?
Besides my role as team leader, I am also a product owner and in this role I ensure that customers and development teams come to a common understanding of the software to be developed. This understanding is the basis for all subsequent activities in the development process. Together we try to understand the problem and look at different possible solutions before we will go into more detail. I particularly enjoy these processes. Everyone has the chance to make their own contribution.
How big are the teams?
I currently work with six colleagues in my team, but some teams can be a little bigger. In general, however, we also always exchange information with colleagues from other departments at Maurer and Bundesdruckerei.
What projects/tasks is Maurer Hamburg working on?
Working at Maurer, my colleagues and I serve a large number of national customers. We develop software and system solutions for customers in the public sector, such as federal, state and local authorities. My team and I are currently working, for example, on the so-called proof-of-arrival system. This system has been rolled out throughout Germany and ensures that refugees coming to Germany can be registered.
What challenges do you face in your work?
In our work, we have to deal with different standards and a very complex IT landscape. This means implementing our customers’ wishes while observing official regulations. Although this can be demanding, it is also very motivating.
Can you tell us what makes your work special?
With our services, we are digitizing processes in the public sector that up to now were largely performed by hand. In this way, we are creating real added value for both citizens and the authorities. Ideally, we help to lessen the burden on staff at public authorities. Citizens, in turn, benefit from improved efficiency.
What personal successes have you already achieved?
We developed the proof-of-arrival system within a few months after the wave of refugees began. One of the challenges we had to face, especially at the beginning, was that the system had to work with utmost reliability even in rough terrain, such as parking lots and in all weather conditions. Ultimately, my work has helped to ensure that refugees were registered in accordance with the law. This is definitely an aspect that makes me proud.
