Enterprise software engineering for automotive and social services
develop group is a 20-year-old software consultancy based in Erlangen, Germany, serving mid-market industrial and public-sector clients with custom development, AUTOSAR automotive work, and IT advisory. The tech stack—Java, Oracle, C++, Kotlin, Docker, Kubernetes—reflects a traditional enterprise foundation with modern containerization. Hiring velocity is accelerating across marketing and engineering roles, while active projects span both domain-specific modules (scheduling, billing systems) and product rollout, indicating a shift toward scaling repeatable offerings alongside project services.
develop group delivers custom software engineering, technology consulting, and team training to large enterprises and social-sector organizations across Germany. Core capabilities include automotive embedded systems (AUTOSAR, CAN, I2C protocols), business application development (Java, Oracle backend), and process modernization for social institutions. The company operates as a project services firm paired with emerging product lines (notably senso®), combining traditional consulting revenue with attempts to build higher-margin vertical software. Teams are organized around engineering, sales, product, and marketing functions, reflecting a maturing consultancy looking to expand beyond billable hours.
