Join the Sedo Family
We are a 120-strong international team from a wide range of disciplines related to domains. What connects us: providing domain names to people who want to establish and expand their online presence. Every good idea needs a good name. But practically all promising names are taken. Sedo was founded in 2001 for this very purpose - and has since been instrumental in establishing the worldwide "domain secondary market".
Our common goal is to make domain trading as easy and secure as any other online purchase by creating the best possible user experience for our more than 3 million customers worldwide.
Come as you are
We're all crazy, but each of us has a unique brand of craziness. It is a great attitude characterized by tolerance and diversity. And this is exactly what we live in our beautiful offices in the heart of Cologne and Boston. Our international team and our upcoming projects are as diverse as the subject of domains. We are looking for people with the motivation to rethink and improve the existing. We need people who tackle change and think outside the box. Would those around you describe you as creative and open to new ideas? Then we want you to manage your own projects and make a difference. We are looking for people who bring passion to their work with a high service orientation and social competence. Talents with verve, know-how and ambition to enrich Sedo.
Does that sound like you? Wonderful. If you like teamwork, the right mix of freedom and responsibility, bold thinking and challenges, you've come to the right place.

We process your personal data in accordance with the provisions of the European General Data Protection Regulation (DSGVO) and the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG), insofar as this is necessary for the decision to establish an employment relationship with us. The legal basis for this is Article 88 DSGVO in conjunction with Section 26 BDSG and, if applicable, Article 6 (1) (b) DSGVO for the initiation or implementation of contractual relationships. This includes the application procedure.
Furthermore, we may process personal data from you if this is necessary for the fulfillment of legal obligations (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c) DSGVO) or for the defense of asserted legal claims against us. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) DSGVO. The legitimate interest is, for example, a duty to provide evidence in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG). If you give us express consent to process personal data for specific purposes, the lawfulness of this processing is based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) a) DSGVO. Consent given can be revoked at any time, with effect for the future (see Section 9 of this data protection information).
If an employment relationship arises between you and us, we may, in accordance with Art. 88 DSGVO in conjunction with § 26 BDSG, further process the personal data already received from you for the purposes of the employment relationship, insofar as this is necessary for the implementation or termination of the employment relationship or for the exercise or fulfillment of obligations arising from a law.
4. DECLARATION OF CONSENT APPLICANT POOL
If an application is unsuccessful, we offer you the option of including your application documents (including cover letter, resume, references, applicant questionnaires, applicant interviews) in our applicant pool after the application process has been completed. We will process your application documents for the purpose of job search and filling positions within the company.
If you yourself have provided "special categories of personal data" pursuant to Art. 9 of the GDPR in your letter of application or other documents submitted by you in the application process (e.g. a photo that reveals ethnic origin, information about severely disabled status, etc.), your consent also relates to this data. However, we would like to point out that we only evaluate all applicants according to their qualifications and therefore ask you to refrain from including such information in your application if possible.
Your data will be stored for a period of one year. The storage is based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a) DSGVO. The consent you have given is voluntary and has no effect on your chances in the application process you have applied for. You can refuse to give your consent without giving any reasons and without having to fear any disadvantages as a result. You can revoke your consent at any time for the future; in this case, your data will be deleted after six months following the conclusion of the application process or after this period with revocation.
5. CATEGORIES OF PERSONAL DATA
We only process data that is related to your application. This may be general data about you (name, address, contact details, etc.), information about your professional qualifications and school education, information about further professional training and, if applicable, other data that you provide to us in connection with your application.
6. SOURCES OF THE DATA
We process personal data that we receive from you by mail or e-mail in the course of contacting you or your application, or that you transmit to us via our careers site and via external sites of providers such as Xing, Stepstone, LindedIn, Indeed, Google for Jobs, Agentur für Arbeit.

Your personal data is processed on our behalf on the basis of order processing contracts pursuant to Art. 28 DSGVO. In these cases, we ensure that the processing of personal data is carried out in accordance with the provisions of the DSGVO. The categories of recipients in this case are Internet service providers and providers of applicant management systems and software.
Otherwise, data is only transferred to recipients outside the company if this is permitted or required by law, if the transfer is necessary for the fulfillment of legal obligations, or if we have your consent.
8. TRANSFER TO A THIRD COUNTRY
As a matter of principle, we do not transfer data to a third country. Should an application for the subsidiary Sedo.com LLC, based in Boston, Massachusetts, be intended or of interest, data will only be transferred with the prior consent of the applicant.
9. DURATION OF DATA STORAGE
We store your personal data as long as this is necessary for the decision on your application. Your personal data or application documents will be deleted a maximum of six (6) months after the end of the application process, which corresponds to the announcement of the rejection decision, unless longer storage is legally required or permitted. We store your personal data beyond this only insofar as this is required by law or in the specific case for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims for the duration of a legal dispute.
In the event that you have consented to a longer storage of your personal data, we will store it in accordance with your declaration of consent.
If an employment relationship, apprenticeship or trainee relationship is established following the application process, your data will initially continue to be stored insofar as this is necessary and permissible and will then be transferred to the personnel file.
If applicable, you will receive an invitation to join our talent pool following the application process. This will allow us to continue to consider you in our selection of applicants for suitable vacancies in the future. If we have your consent to do so, we will store your application data in our talent pool in accordance with your consent or, if applicable, future consents.
