ABOUT OUR COMPANY

freiheit.com is an internet pioneer, founded in Hamburg in 1999 and developing digital online products for international clients. We have completed hundreds of successful large-scale projects. Our digital products are used by millions of users with thousands of requests per second. We are known for our high reputation in the market and are highly valued by our members for our strong and unique sense of community.

For over 25 years, we have been working for the “Who's Who” of German and European industrial and commercial companies – across all sectors. Trade, automotive, e-commerce, healthcare and more. We have ambitious targets for growth in the coming years and are therefore expanding our international team, especially in the commercial area.

We currently have a team of 250 people from 30+ nations in our engineering hubs in Hamburg and Lisbon and are still growing over both hubs, especially in Lisbon. To master this growth we need a strong and experienced People Team to support everyone in facing future challenges.
