A high-performance software engineering organization for Lufthansa
Technik
Based on their long-standing cooperation, CleverPine AD, a leading
provider for software engineering services based in Sofia, Bulgaria,
and Lufthansa Technik AG, the world's leading MRO provider, have
founded the joint venture "ViTech" in Sofia, Bulgaria. ViTech will
build up product-oriented software engineering and data science
center to deliver high-quality software solutions solely for the
digitalization needs of Lufthansa Technik's business segments.
Starting immediately, ViTech will recruit 85 Software Engineers, all
based in Sofia.
With the ambition to accelerate the digital transformation in the
aviation industry and its initiative "Digitize the Core", Lufthansa
Technik is expanding its partnership with CleverPine, making the
majority-owned joint venture ViTech a dedicated tech hub for the
development of digital solutions exclusively for Lufthansa Technik's
business segments.
For the past 15 years, the MRO expert has already had a significant
presence in Bulgaria through its subsidiary Lufthansa Technik Sofia.
In addition, Sofia is home to leading universities and an emerging
ecosystem of tech companies and was therefore chosen as the ideal
location to launch ViTech, which is starting operations in October.
ViTech is looking for passionate Software Engineers to join the team
of the recently founded venture. The roles comprise Engineering
Managers, Software Engineers, Scrum Masters, UX Designers, Data
Scientists and Product Owners.
