Careers
Work on initiatives that actually have to deliver.
We're looking for people who think clearly in complex contexts and deliver reliably — and who understand that good IT consulting has nothing to do with putting on a show.
- Direct responsibility
- Complex transformations
- Interdisciplinary teams
- Hybrid working
Since 1998
Over 27 years of consulting with a delivery mindset — grown as a team.
Why work at 1st
An environment that combines responsibility and development.
We work on demanding transformation initiatives — with teams that bring together strategy, architecture, technology and delivery.
Responsibility, not a spectator role
Ownership from day one — not a promise, but a way of working.
Learning on real projects
Growth comes from demanding mandates, not training catalogs.
Interdisciplinary collaboration
Strategy, architecture and engineering at one table — concept and implementation belong together.
A clear culture without buzzwords
Direct communication, honest feedback, no show.
Why 1st
Think strategically. Understand technology. Deliver reliably.
Mandates with substance
We work on transformations that actually go into production — not assembly-line roles.
Interdisciplinary teams
Strategy, architecture and engineering at one table — concept and implementation belong together.
Autonomy & trust
Hybrid working, clear responsibility, no on-site requirement as a matter of principle.
Growth, not ranking
Individual development paths instead of rigid career ladders and rankings.
Culture
Calm, precise, results-oriented collaboration.
Collaboration
Good work comes from good collaboration.
We work in teams that share responsibility, exchange knowledge openly and are measured by real results — not by volume.
Individual development paths
Instead of a rigid model — tailored to role and ambition.
Specialist and management tracks
Both equally valued, both with a clear framework.
Learning budget & certifications
Cloud, data, AI, security, architecture, coaching.
Mentoring & peer reviews
Regular, honest, with concrete next steps.
Benefits
A framework that signals reliability.
The framework is meant to enable good work — not replace it. That's why we prioritize reliable structures over a catalog of perks.
