Project details

The Project

Our client operates one of the highest-reach digital platforms in its segment in Germany: double-digit millions of users per year and regularly significant peak loads. The platform is being completely rebuilt, with app and web as well as a new architecture. Go-live is planned for early 2028. We are looking for an experienced person to be responsible for requirements engineering and to ensure that requirements are testable before they go into development.
