Where we are

Our origin is Germany, but today Avira has a presence around the world. We’re 500 employees of 30 nationalities, across five core offices in four countries. Learn more about our core office locations.

Overview

Avira has offices in Tettnang, San Jose, Bucharest, Munich, and Berlin, with additional representatives in the Asia-Pacific region.

Tettnang, Germany

Tettnang is home to our purpose-built HQ. The site is fully equipped with all the great facilities you’d expect from a modern, progressive workplace – including a free, onsite gym and great coffee! The city itself is located next to the Bodensee (Lake Konstanz) – close to the Austrian and Swiss borders – and offers fabulous year-round outdoor activities: from sailing in the summer to skiing in the winter.

San Jose, U.S.

Our office is located in a WeWork co-working space in Silicon Valley. Cradled by the foothills of the Santa Cruz Mountains and Diablo Rang, and, in close proximity to the ocean and Sierra Nevada, San Jose is a great location for lovers of the great outdoors – and those who love 300 sunny days a year.

Bucharest, Romania

You’ll find our second largest office at the vibrant heart of Romania’s capital. We’re well-known for our rooftop BBQs and Hadoop meetups. Most of our business areas are represented here, including marketing, sales, data science, and software.

Munich, Germany

Our Munich office is conveniently located in the very center of this city of culture and opportunity, home of Germany's engineering giants. Here, you’ll find part of our marketing department, mobile developers, big data specialists, software developers, and our user-testing facilities.

Berlin, Germany

Located in the WeWork Potsdamer Platz, our Berlin office is part of a co-working space in one of Berlin’s most vibrant neighborhoods, right in the city center. It’s a great opportunity to work with a fantastic team in a vibrant and culturally exciting European capital.

New roles, piping hot!

Update: Although there’s a lot of disruption nowadays due to Covid-19, we at Avira are continuing to run our daily business activities so that we stay true to the promise to our customers - now even more than ever: Protecting people in the connected world.

And we are doing this from the safeness of our own homes. Among other things, this means we are still hiring, but we have moved all our interviews online and all our colleagues are being onboarded remotely.

So join us and you will be able to work from home until the danger is over.

When you apply

You can be sure of two things. Firstly, we’ll always treat you, your application, and your data with respect. Secondly, we’ll always respond, even if your application is unsuccessful. We offer a lean process for everyone who takes the time to apply. Although variations in the stages do happen depending on the position, we generally stick to the following stages.

Interview

You’ll discuss the role, the business, your skills, and your goals with either an HR specialist, your future manager, and/or a future technical colleague.

Practical assignment

You will complete a task, test, presentation, or assessment – something that allows you to show us what you can do.

Meet the Team

You’ll meet your future team; this meeting can last from two hours to a full day. It’s a great opportunity to introduce yourself to your future manager and colleagues.

Leitbild interview

“Leitbild” refers to our guiding values – the ones that make us who we are. This important final interview will help us decide if you share our mindset.
