German insurance broker serving SMEs and households since 1919
Volkswohl Bund is a 100+ year-old German insurance broker for mid-market businesses and private households, operating a mainframe-heavy core (IBM z/OS, Db2, CICS) modernized with Java, Spring, and Kubernetes at the edges. Current hiring is sales-led (5 roles) with meaningful engineering effort (4 roles) on claims systems, security operations, and a central CMDB — indicating active infrastructure modernization alongside partner acquisition scaling.

The organization is executing a multi-year technical transformation: replacing legacy claims handling, building centralized configuration management, hardening endpoint and security operations, and expanding broker partnerships. Engineering and sales functions are growing concurrently, signaling both product modernization and distribution scaling.
