Flexibility is part of how we work at CARIAD. We believe that great results come from environments that respect different life situations, priorities, and ways of working. That’s why our benefits go beyond competitive compensation. They are designed to support work-life balance, personal development, and security across all life phases and career stages.
Shaping futures – together
While you help shape the future of automotive mobility, we support you in shaping your own journey. At CARIAD, our benefits are built around trust, flexibility, and well-being – so you can focus on what matters most, professionally and personally.
Our goal is simple: to create a work environment where you feel valued, supported, and empowered to grow. One that enables you to stay healthy, motivated, and confident at every stage of your career.

Foundation for your future
Compensation matters – but it isn't everything. At CARIAD, you can expect an attractive salary that fairly reflects your skills, experience, and contribution. But we know that alone isn't what makes work meaningful.
As part of the Volkswagen Group, you work on software that has real impact – shaping vehicle technology used by millions of people worldwide.
That sense of purpose goes hand in hand with practical benefits. The option to lease a vehicle within the Volkswagen Group, including Audi, is a nice extra. To help you plan ahead, we offer a company pension scheme with employer-financed contributions and optional deferred compensation. In addition, all employees are covered by 24/7 worldwide accident insurance – at work and in their private life.
Flexibility that works for you
Work should fit your life – not the other way around. That’s why work-life balance matters at CARIAD. You receive thirty days of paid days off per year, plus up to ten additional unpaid days when you need more time away. For longer breaks, you can take a sabbatical of three to six months, without a prior savings period and with a pay-back model after. This gives you the freedom to recharge, refocus, or pursue personal projects when it matters most.
Flexibility also applies to working hours. Most CARIDIANS work a 35-hour week, but depending on your situation, you can choose a 28-hour model or opt for 40 hours. We provide the framework and trust you to decide what works best for you.
Work where it works best
Where you work can be just as important as when you work. That’s why remote work at CARIAD is possible, depending on your role and team setup.
We understand that sometimes your ideal desk may not be in the office or at home. As a CARIDIAN, you can work up to twenty days per year in each EU country, making it easier to combine work with personal commitments abroad.
When you are on site, our CARIAD Spheres offer a modern multi-space office concept. Designed for collaboration, focused work, and exchange, they support different working styles under one roof.
Development that grows with you
Growth is part of everyday life at CARIAD. Through tailored learning paths, upskilling programs, and innovative training formats, we support continuous professional growth and lifelong learning that is aligned with your role, strengths, and ambitions. Our offers range from dedicated young talent programs for students, interns, and graduates to development paths for experienced professionals and initiatives for female talents. Across all stages, our approach is rooted in curiosity, inclusion, and the belief that meaningful progress happens when people are encouraged to learn and evolve.
Something for everyone: respect.
Great benefits unfold their full value in the right environment. At CARIAD, we stand for respect, openness, and diverse teams – where background, identity, or beliefs never define how people are treated.
Respectful and open communication, transparency, and accountability shape our culture and create a workplace where people feel valued and supported to grow together.
