Contabo GmbH

In 2011, Ulrich Huggenberger founded XITASO with a vision to bring high-end software engineering excellence to complex digital transformation projects. What started as a realization that digitalization demanded more than just coding - it required deep domain expertise, collaborative partnerships, and a genuine passion for innovation - has grown into a team of over 240 professionals across 13 locations. The company emerged from a fundamental insight: companies in mechanical engineering, robotics, medical technology, and the public sector needed a partner who could not only write code but truly understand their industries and help them navigate the increasing complexity of interconnected digital systems. Today, XITASO stands as an expert for high-end software engineering in future-proof digitalization projects, developing individual solutions of the highest quality that scale securely from hardware to cloud. The company has cultivated a unique culture of self-organization, flat hierarchies, and continuous learning - what they call New Work - where cross-functional teams make autonomous decisions and communities drive innovation across the organization. With annual revenue exceeding 22 million euro and a commitment to authenticity, inspiration, and ambition, XITASO continues to shape the digital future through expertise in artificial intelligence, IT security, cloud engineering, and Industry 4.0 technologies. Their mission remains clear: to enable their customers' digital market advantage through excellence, innovation, and the simple joy of creating technology that matters.

At prenode, we believe that industrial expertise is the most valuable asset in Germany - and we're on a mission to make it scalable. Founded as a spin-off from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology in 2018, our team builds robust, scalable, and decentralized AI systems that bridge the gap between shopfloor (OT) and cloud (IT). We believe every team member should act like an entrepreneur: you'll enjoy flat hierarchies, genuine autonomy, and the freedom to drive real impact. Our culture thrives on innovation - not as a buzzword, but as the combination of idea, implementation, and actual value. When you join prenode, you're part of an interdisciplinary team that learns faster than competitors, treats each other with respect, and focuses on what truly matters: transforming industrial expertise into scalable digital solutions. We partner with leading manufacturers and operators across mechanical and plant engineering to deliver practical AI and IIoT solutions. Our approach emphasizes hands-on collaboration - from potential workshops through proofs of concept to managed operations. We've been recognized as a top AI startup multiple times and are proud members of the German AI Association. But what really drives us is seeing our solutions create tangible value: enabling Equipment-as-a-Service models for TRUMPF, implementing predictive maintenance for WEISSER precision machines, or automating chip detection for Watts Industries. If you're excited about solving complex industrial challenges with cutting-edge technology while working in a culture that values ownership, continuous learning, and mutual support, you'll fit right in.
