Bike-leasing platform for German employers with integrated fleet and tax compliance
JobRad operates Germany's largest bike-leasing marketplace, connecting employers, employees, and retailers through a SaaS platform built on React, Node.js, PostgreSQL, and MongoDB. The tech stack shows a dual-layer architecture: cloud-native services (AWS, GCP, Azure) paired with on-premise ERP tooling (Business Central, Odoo), reflecting the financial and compliance demands of a regulated leasing business. Engineering-heavy hiring (21 roles) focused on modernization—active projects include modular service rewrite, ERP rollout, and legacy system replacement—while security (9 roles) expansion signals heightened attention to regulatory risk.
JobRad is Germany's leading bike and e-bike leasing provider, founded in 2008 and based in Freiburg. The company operates a three-sided marketplace: employers offering bike-leasing to employees as a tax-advantaged benefit (via the 0.25% tax rule applied to bikes), individual employees, and German bicycle retailers who access JobRad's fleet, branding, insurance, and financing services. With 501–1,000 employees in Germany, JobRad handles the full lifecycle of fleet operations—acquisition, maintenance, liability—while managing regulatory compliance for a financial services product. The business is profitable and publicly traded.
