Security is our mindset.
security. done. right.
In our team, you will collaborate with experienced colleagues to develop solutions that truly work. With a depth of expertise that goes beyond the obvious, and a team that does not shy away from responsibility.
Progress requires conviction and individuals who take responsibility – for themselves, for the team, and for our clients’ security. We remain courageous, act decisively, and create effective solutions. At carmasec, you grow with us, combining depth with impact. The moment is now to find your place in our security mindset.
Flying out on Mondays, building slides in a hotel room in the evening, and spending weekends in the project office? Not with us. We work remote-first, from Cologne, from Essen, or from wherever you are most productive. On-site client appointments are the exception, not the rule. Because let’s be honest: good security consulting doesn’t require a suitcase. It requires clear minds. And those are found in people who sleep at home in the evenings.
We believe in people who know what they are doing. That is why we work with clear roles and genuine decision-making freedom.
You make decisions where you bear responsibility. And if there are differing opinions, they are discussed.
Openly, directly, and on equal terms.
Cybersecurity thrives on being one step ahead. That is why we specifically invest in your development: certifications, individual budgets, and our Open Friday for genuine professional exchange. Do you want to attend a conference? Then you go.
Do you need a certification? Then you get it. What advances you also advances us and our partners.
Freedom to experiment, an open error culture, and the opportunity to shape company structures are a matter of course for us.
Our experienced employees will support you in your personal and professional development.
Work during your most productive hours and flexibly plan personal commitments. Overtime is compensated.
You can choose from various offers such as the Deutschland-Jobticket, Urban Sports Club membership, Job-Rad, or childcare support.
We invest in your development through regular training and renowned certifications.
We work remotely or in our offices in Cologne or Essen. On-site client meetings are the exception for us.
Our monthly Open Space is dedicated to creative work on current topics. Events such as workations, summer parties, or Christmas celebrations are planned and implemented by the team.
Combine work and travel or take an extended break as part of a sabbatical.
30 days of vacation per year and special leave for special occasions.
We are looking for individuals who take responsibility and embody it with professional strength, entrepreneurial thinking, and human clarity.
Professionals & Experts
You bring experience and expertise, navigate projects and technologies confidently, and interact effectively with clients. With us, you take on responsibility and develop solutions that are sustainable in everyday use, professionally sound, strategically thought out, and pragmatically implemented.
Career Switchers
You come from an internal role and have already gained solid professional experience, wish to expand your scope of action, and specifically develop towards consulting. With us, you will systematically grow into this new role, build consulting expertise, and learn to take responsibility in a client context.
Students & Apprentices
Do you want to understand how real projects work and be part of them from the start? With us, you will work in a team, take on tasks, and gain practical experience that truly advances you. We create the framework in which you can contribute and develop.
Whether you are an experienced consultant, career switcher, working student, or in an internal role: If you want to take on responsibility and cybersecurity is your passion, we look forward to hearing from you.
Real Benefits, Not Just a Fruit Basket
Responsibility. From day one.
We delegate responsibility early and consciously. From day 1, you actively work and contribute. From the first project, you are responsible for results and bear both technical and organizational responsibility for your clients. No long onboarding phase with an observer role. We trust that you know what you are doing and act accordingly.
Our consultants work approximately 170 days a year on client projects. But no matter the role: the rest belongs to you and carmasec. For internal topics and the personal and organizational development of the company. Everyone at carmasec actively shapes carmasec itself.
Remote. Truly.
Home office is not a benefit, but our standard. We work from Cologne, from Essen, or from wherever you are most productive. On-site client appointments are the exception, not the rule. Trust-based working hours mean: You decide when you work. Overtime is avoided and promptly compensated. 30 days of vacation plus special leave for special occasions. And for those who need a change of scenery: workation from abroad and sabbaticals are possible.
Co-determination. Structurally embedded.
No approvals from above, no waiting loops. At carmasec, we work holocratically: clear roles, distributed decision-making authority, responsibility where the competence lies. This specifically means that you make decisions within your area of responsibility. Not your team lead, but you.
Further Training. Backed by Budget.
We specifically invest in your professional and personal development. Certifications, conferences, individual training budgets. No training bingo, but a structured development path with clear career stages and regular feedback and development discussions. You know where you stand and where you are going.
Cohesion. All year round.
Open Friday for professional exchange and team spirit. Carmasec week as a joint offsite once a year. And team events that no one wants to miss: summer party, Christmas celebration, CSR day. We consciously create opportunities for interaction outside of daily project work.
Daily Life. Well-equipped.
Job bike, Deutschlandticket, Urban Sports Club, childcare support. You choose what suits your life situation. And cold Mate in the fridge. No fruit basket 😉.
Onboarding. With Support.
Yes, you will be thrown in at the deep end. But not alone. In the first few weeks, you will get to know structures, processes, and colleagues, while already contributing. Your team lead will closely support you and provide clear orientation until you are fully settled in your role.
As a Management Consultant and Team Lead, I support strategic cybersecurity projects and actively promote the individual development of my colleagues. The lived culture of trust and our remote-first approach enable me to achieve a highly efficient symbiosis of professional ambition and family responsibilities, while maintaining uncompromising quality of results.
Till Bormann, Senior Security Consultant
Building processes, a brand, and a team that truly sticks together. With real ideas, real impact, and people who deliver. It doesn’t get any better than this.
Anja Missenberger, Head of Marketing
The decisive factors were the high density of technological innovation in cybersecurity and the challenging project environment. The continuous engagement with new regulatory and technical challenges provides me with exactly the intellectual stimulus I sought for my professional development.
Robin Südkamp, Security Consultant
Managing projects, leading a team, and simultaneously actively shaping the corporate culture as part of the CSR Squad. At carmasec, this doesn’t happen in parallel, but together. That’s precisely what makes the difference.
Dominik Sturm, Management Security Consultant
You apply for an advertised position or submit an unsolicited application with your profile. After acknowledging receipt, we check which role best suits you professionally and personally.
In a video call, we discuss your career path, your motivation, and our way of working. For us, cultural fit means: Do our values, our understanding of collaboration, and our commitment to personal responsibility align with you, and vice versa?
Together with future colleagues, you will delve deeper into specialist topics, typical tasks, and daily client work. Both sides should gain a realistic picture of each other.
We discuss your offer, your start date, and your onboarding. Our goal: fast, transparent, clear feedback.
Why is carmasec a great place to start or advance your career?
Here, responsibility is not a matter of hierarchy, but of competence. We work holocratically, with clear roles and distributed decision-making authority. There are no approvals from above. From day one, you make decisions for which you are responsible. You’ll also have experienced senior consultants by your side, real projects instead of an observer role, individual training budgets, and internal time that belongs to you and carmasec. You won’t just grow into the company. You grow with it.
What does a typical workday look like?
Honestly, there isn’t one. Cybersecurity is too dynamic for routine. You switch between projects, internal topics, and professional exchange, and no two days are alike.
What is the work environment like?
Remote-first, with offices in Cologne and Essen. You work where you are most productive, without mandatory office attendance. When we meet, it’s for a clear reason: Open Friday, carmasec week, or an appointment we prepare for together.
How long does the application process take?
We usually respond within a few days of your application. The entire process typically involves two interviews and usually takes only a few weeks. We understand that you may have other options and respect your time.
In what format do the interviews take place?
Normally remote via video call, uncomplicated and without much effort. If needed or desired, we are also happy to meet in person at one of our offices in Cologne or Essen.
Do I have to meet all requirements in the job profile?
No. If you meet most of the points and are truly passionate about cybersecurity, we welcome your application. Missing qualifications are not an exclusion criterion, but a starting point for joint development.
Can I also submit an unsolicited application?
Yes, absolutely. If you don’t find a suitable advertised position right now, simply send us your profile and a brief description of what interests you and where you want to go. We will see what is possible.
Are there entry-level options for students?
Yes. You can join us as a working student, intern, or for your thesis. Just write to us about your preferred timeframe and the topics that excite you; together, we will find the right format.
What happens if it’s not a good fit?
We will always give you honest and specific feedback. If the timing or profile isn’t right at the moment, it’s not a definitive no. We welcome a renewed application once circumstances have changed.
How do I prepare for the interviews?
Just come as you are. We want to get to know you: your background, your motivation, and how you work. Depending on the role, we might discuss a specific case together or prepare a short task. You will be informed of this in advance so you know what to expect.
I have special requirements for the application or interview process. Whom can I ask?
Please contact us directly at zukunft@carmasec.com. We take such requests seriously and will work with you to find a solution that suits your needs.
How will my application data be handled?
Your data will be used exclusively for the application process and treated with the same care we promise our partners: securely, confidentially, and in compliance with GDPR. Information on policies regarding personal data and data retention can be found in our Privacy Policy.
