TL;DR Get your insights first hand from one of our apprentices at Hetzner in Gunzenhausen!��
Greetings, my name is David. 🙋🏻♂️ I started my apprenticeship as an application developer in the KonsoleH department at Hetzner on September 1, 2025. As someone who shares the same birthplace as Hetzner — Gunzenhausen — working here one day has always been a goal of mine.
What I appreciate most about working at Hetzner is the general workplace mentality: a consistent focus on improvement and delivering reliable services and products every day. Personally, I enjoy solving problems, implementing solutions, and growing my coding and technical skills. 💻 Working with my colleagues has also been great — everyone is friendly, open, and willing to help.
The biggest highlight for me is how much there is to learn. This was honestly the main thing I was looking forward to when I applied. Through the rotation model, trainees get to experience a wide range of departments across the company. Seeing the different IT departments alone — given how vast the field is — has already taught me a lot, and I know there is still much more to come.
As I’m writing this, I’m currently in the marketing rotation — which is a good example of that. At Hetzner, learning and doing new things is genuinely encouraged. Challenging yourself to step outside your comfort zone is not just good for your professional growth, but for your personal development too. On my very first day here, for instance, I took part in a photoshoot for our internal merchandise shop — something completely new to me. 📸 I also got to dabble in some video editing for our tutorial series, a skill I had never touched before and was now able to explore.
So if you’re looking to start your career, are interested in tech, and enjoy learning new things, feel free to apply. We’d be happy to welcome you to the team!
