About Mindcurv

We help our customers rethink their digital business, experiences, and technology to navigate the new digital reality. We do this by designing sustainable and accountable solutions for humans living in a digital world. Mindcurv holistically covers the market’s need to digitalise business processes and customer experiences and take advantage of the cloud following DevOps and agile principles.

Within our Cloud Infrastructure solution, we apply an agile approach to provide true on-demand cloud computing. We implement on cloud, on premise and hybrid global infrastructures using automation techniques and infrastructure-as-code.

It is important to us to offer our employees a working environment in which they can develop and fully realize their strengths. We see the people behind the jobs and want our team members to be satisfied not only at work, but also in their private lives. That is why it is important to us to offer a flexible working environment in which work-life balance is not just a buzzword.
