Careers at Converia

What you will work on with us

Converia is conference management software for content-driven professional congresses – scientific meetings, association conferences, and multi-day events with programs, submissions, and peer-review processes. Over 1,000 conferences are organized every year by institutions such as the Technical University of Munich, the University of Cologne, and Fraunhofer Institutes.

The company has been around since 2000, and the Converia product since 2009. Part of the team has been with us since the early days. We operate without investors and decide our own tasks and goals – which shapes our long-term perspective.

How we work

We think long-term

Instead of jumping from one project to the next, we maintain a product that stays with our clients for years. This brings a sense of calm to our work—and gives the software the time it needs to solve problems permanently rather than just putting them off.

Rest is part of it

60-hour weeks and night shifts are not the norm here. We compensate for overtime with shorter workdays. Flexible hours and remote work options make us a family-friendly employer.

Short communication channels

We are large enough to delegate tasks effectively, yet small enough that everyone knows each other personally. Our doors are always open, and we welcome your ideas—whether they concern our products or how we work together.

Mistakes help us grow

If something doesn't work, it's just information, not a disaster—we’ll simply try again. Feedback and support from colleagues are always available. We aren't looking for people who just punch the clock.

What's included

Hybrid work

regular office interaction, remote work after onboarding – with flexibility for spontaneous needs as they arise

Professional development of your choice

What matters to us beyond our work

We like to share our success. Instead of giving Christmas gifts to our clients, we support a local social project every year—most recently the Weimar food bank and the Weimar children's home. We also provide our software free of charge to select conferences focused on social issues.

We participate in the Benefixlauf and the Weimar City Run with our own team, and we explore the region during our company hiking day. For those who prefer cycling, we share our favorite routes in our Strava group.

How the application process works

Application

Submit your application directly through our job portal. A resume and your desired start date are all we need – a cover letter is not required.

Confirmation

You will receive an email confirming that your application has arrived. We take the time to review your documents and discuss them with the team looking for new members.

Initial interview

This is a chance to get to know each other, not a formal interview. We’ll explore how your experience aligns with our needs and how well Converia fits your requirements. You’ll meet with the HR team and the team lead, and we’ll also give you a tour of the office.

Employment contract

If it’s a good fit for both sides, we’ll take care of the paperwork. On your first day, we’ll welcome you to the team, start your onboarding, and from that point on, we’ll be on a first-name basis.

Current job openings

Careers

If this sounds like a good fit, get in touch – even if you don't have a formal request for proposal.

Don't see the right position?

We are especially looking for people who believe in the mission of our software and are excited to help shape its long-term development. While top grades, years of professional experience, or a computer science degree are a plus, they are not mandatory. We value solid fundamentals, analytical thinking, and the willingness to develop your own solutions more highly.
