Our Business Services Teams play a critical role in enabling our business, driving continuous improvement, and shaping how we scale.

As we continue to grow, so will your opportunities, in an environment that supports your development and empowers you to grow as we grow. There’s never been a better time to join Inverto and be part of what comes next. Are you in?
We are looking to fill this position from November 2026 onwards.
How You'll Impact.
Build and improve internal automation solutions. You develop and enhance internal tools using C#, .NET, APIs, and SQL Server, helping our teams work smarter and faster.
Translate business needs into reliable technology. You take real business processes and turn them into robust workflows, data models, and integrations that hold up in daily use.
Support software quality from the start. You contribute to testing and documentation, helping us maintain high software quality standards across our solutions.
Own smaller development tasks end to end. From gathering requirements to handover, you take responsibility for your own pieces of work and see them through.
What You'll Bring.
You are currently studying Computer Science, Business Information Systems, Software Engineering, or a related field and have initial programming experience in C#, .NET, or another object-oriented language. Hands-on exposure to Entity Framework, APIs, or Microsoft SQL Server is a plus.
You have a solid understanding of relational databases and SQL; familiarity with unit testing, integration testing, and Git is a bonus.
You bring a structured, analytical, and independent working style. First experiences with BPMN or process modeling are a plus.
You're curious about how technology can make processes smarter — prior exposure to automation, data processing, or workflow development is welcome but not required.
You have strong communication skills in both English and German.
What We'll Offer.
- Tailored training programs and personalized coaching to help you grow and thrive
- Access to mental coaching and Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) resources
- A rewarding Employee Referral Program to grow our team with your help
- Seasonal parties, team events, and get-togethers to foster collaboration and celebrate success

Working student essentials
What this Tech working student role in Cologne means for you: the weekly-hours rules, the social-contribution perks, and what international students should check before applying.
Weekly hours
Working students may work up to 20 hours a week during the semester and full-time during the breaks. Staying within this keeps your student status and the Werkstudent benefits.
Working student rulesSocial contributions
Under the Werkstudentenprivileg you're exempt from health, care and unemployment insurance contributions — only pension insurance applies. That leaves more net pay than a regular job.
Check your insuranceInternational students
Non-EU students can work 140 full or 280 half days per year (raised from 120/240 in March 2024). A working student contract usually fits within this — confirm the exact limits printed on your residence permit.
