What our team members think
We champion and foster curious, passionate, and genuine people to push boundaries. See what some of them have to say about working at Zertificon!
I have always been passionate about computer science, so this is a dream job. As Head of Development Standard at Zertificon, I deal with exciting cryptographic technologies and get to apply my years of know-how in software development and IT security. I feel that I have a job that makes sense and actually contributes to IT security.
Adnan, Head of Development Standard, coffee enthusiast
I feel that I have a work-family here. We have loads of fun even on the busiest days. And when something needs fixing, we always help and learn from each other. I like the atmosphere. I was given a lot of trust and responsibility from day one, but it was also ok to make and learn from my mistakes.
Liesbeth, Project Assistant, sports junkie and loves silly jokes
I have a lot of fun working here. My team and I are always trying to find the best way to solve all sorts of technical problems, and I learn a lot every day.
Benjamin, First Level Support, always cozy in Zertificon hoodies
IT support means talking to and assisting customers all day. When I need an extra hand finding solutions, I know I can reach out to anyone at all times, which makes life easier for everyone.
Melanie, Working Student, IT Support, Netflix, and loads of video games
Flexible working hours are critical for me. As a father, I also want to be able to take on other interesting projects with my kids. It's great to know I can always come back to my work when I want, during the day or night. Also, when I jump back to work, I can count on relaxed vibes cause everyone is friendly and laid-back.
Jean-Baptiste, Backend Developer, cycles to work every day
I can walk around freely in the office and nap whenever I want in my bed. My human takes me for walks in the yard anytime we both feel like it. Do you have treats? Is it cuddle time? No? then let me enjoy the sun. Thank you!
Caramello, office dog, loves Camembert and will steal your heart
I bring sales, IT support, and project management topics together. It's pretty thrilling to have an overview of how different things interact and affect each other.
Yasha, Digital Operations Manager, DIY master, will never turn down a Pizza-Friday
I joined Zertificon as part of my apprenticeship program. Back then, the company appealed to me because my BVG card was paid, and my apprentice salary was beyond average. Four years later, I still very much enjoy working here as a Junior Marketing Manager. The responsibilities and projects I am involved in keep getting bigger, the team is always great, and flexibility is a given.
Maike, Junior Marketing Manager, can be found in the woods with her dogs in the afternoons
I love new challenges, and I feel challenged and engaged at work now more than before in my career. Whenever I face a tricky task, I see a chance to develop a new set of skills. So for me, problem-solving isn't just about finding a solution. It's about exploiting opportunities. I also like how easygoing the environment is and how much my colleagues love what they do. All this motivates me to work even on Mondays :)
Saman, Chief Technical Officer, loves energy drinks, gaming, music – wait, did I say gaming? OK, good
I enjoy the diversity of tasks and how we contribute significantly to the strategy in product management. We're always busy figuring out roadmaps, features, and development landscapes. You learn a lot by collaborating with interdisciplinary teams.

Zertificon, Your application, and Edward Snowden
Securing confidential electronic communication is our mission.
Edward Snowden unveiled the magnitude of mass government surveillance programs’ overreach on privacy to the globe. Controversial to some, yet in the eyes of most IT security specialists, he is a hero. We can’t but celebrate Snowden’s moral courage to defend fundamental liberties we also hold dear.
At the heart of everything we do at Zertificon lies information privacy as an imperative right for a free, fair global economy. Snowden’s whistleblowing triggered a worldwide policy and technology shift to mitigate privacy concerns. He awoke the public to the ever-looming cyberthreat danger from hackers to espionage and everything in between. Thanks to him, everyone knows better than to leave private and business data unprotected in digital communication.
Do you feel the same about Edward Snowden? If so, we think you might enjoy becoming part of our team! We donate 1000 Euros to Edward Snowden for every newly hired employee who refers him in their application.
