Head of Engineering (m/w/d)

About Us

Sastrix is the new startup by two of the former evopark founders after having successfully sold their last company. Join us on our new adventure to reshape the software-as-a-service industry!

Sastrix is a virtual Software-as-a-Service procurement service and optimizes management and cost of SaaS tools for digital-first companies. We bring transparency into the SaaS landscape, reduce shadow IT and support in the acquisition of new tools. This includes continuous monitoring of software tools (under-usage, functional overlaps etc.), renewal management and even price negotiations with vendors. We typically save around 5-10% of monthly SaaS cost within the first weeks. Obviously, our mission is to save more money than we cost, creating a win-win situation with our customers.
