Who we are:
ICO-LUX is a small software company based in Jena, Germany. Our mission is to make life difficult for counterfeiters, fraudsters and rip-off artists. We develop software to check documents for authenticity.
Every day in Germany, millions of documents are sent by post, scanned as email attachments or as app photos. Most senders have genuine interests. But paper is not forgery-proof. Fraudsters try to exploit the automated processing of documents by manipulating them to their own advantage - and thus harm the general public. But we put that to an end - with your help!

- You like to work on your own responsibility - but not alone.
- You think logically and analytically and have basic mathematical knowledge.
- Basic knowledge of or willingness to learn Linux, container technologies and web development.
- German language skills (B1 or higher - also without certificate).

- “Nice to have” are some of the following skills: algorithms, Linux, bash, git, DevOps, Docker, Kubernetes, cryptography, regular expressions, databases and SQL, web development (HTML / CSS / JavaScript), performance optimization, IT security basics, machine learning basics.
Your tasks:
- Improvement of our ICO.Fraud engine - the heart of our fraud detection.
