Cybus builds Connectware, an on-premises Industrial IoT platform designed to move manufacturing data across production, IT, and business systems at enterprise scale. The tech stack (Kubernetes, Kafka, Ansible, GitOps, OPC UA, MQTT) reflects a cloud-native architecture deployed on-premises — a deliberate choice for data sovereignty in regulated manufacturing. Hiring skews toward senior engineers and product roles in Germany, while pain points center on technical debt and the shift from waterfall to agile delivery, suggesting a maturing product transitioning its internal processes.
Cybus is a German software company founded in 2015 that specializes in Industrial IoT connectivity for large manufacturing enterprises. The core product, Connectware, integrates machine data across factory floors, production systems, and enterprise IT infrastructure using protocols like OPC UA, MQTT, and Modbus. The platform runs entirely on-premises with Kubernetes and Kafka as its backbone, designed for companies in automotive, metal processing, and mechanical engineering that require high availability, data governance, and cybersecurity. Cybus operates as a 51–200 person, privately held organization headquartered in Hamburg.
Cybus uses Kubernetes, Docker, Kafka, Git, GitOps, Ansible, and Argo CD for infrastructure, plus OPC UA, MQTT, Modbus, and BACnet for industrial protocol connectivity. The stack also includes Node.js, Go, Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud.
Active projects include scalable infrastructure-as-code deployments, industrial data infrastructure implementation, core reliability and connectivity roadmap, microservice-oriented industrial software architecture, and high-tech-features integration for the Connectware platform.
