Why this session matters for engineers in Austria

From our DevJobs.at editorial vantage point, the session “Oliver Hermann, Rene Puchner & Bernhard Stefanits von CompuGroup Medical” offered a concise window into how a leading E‑Health provider builds software and teams. CompuGroup Medical (CGM) develops solutions that support physicians in private practice, hospitals, and the full spectrum of clinical staff—medical, nursing, and administrative. The objective, as stated in the session, is explicit:

For developers, QA specialists, and emerging DevOps engineers, that pairing of societal impact, broad technology exposure, and structured onboarding is compelling. CGM is actively hiring and provides multiple entry points across roles, experience levels, and locations.

Mission and impact: Software that puts patients back at the center

The session positions CGM Austria as a leading E‑Health provider. Products serve the outpatient sector as well as hospitals, supporting the teams behind care delivery—medical, nursing, and administrative. Everything being built aims to return the user’s focus to the person who needs help.

That phrase captures the essence: meaningful, direct contribution. For tech profiles who want their work to strengthen healthcare in Austria, it’s a powerful reason to take a closer look.

Scale, structure, and locations: Engineering for critical infrastructure

The speakers ground their message with clear facts:

• “Wir haben in Österreich 500 Mitarbeiter aufgeteilt auf sieben Unternehmen, 25 Niederlassungen …”
• “… und wir suchen laufend gute Mitarbeiter, die bei uns die Wachstumsstory weiterschreiben möchten und einen wertvollen Beitrag leisten zur österreichischen Infrastruktur im Gesundheitsbereich.”

The signal: CGM operates at a scale that demands stable processes, scalable systems, and reliable quality—while also offering enough breadth to accommodate different technologies, platforms, and career paths. Presence across the country underlines accessibility for talent independent of geography:

• “Zahlreiche Standorte in ganz Österreich, von Wien, Linz, Graz, Salzburg, Steyr bis hin nach Hall in Tirol …”

A flexible work model complements that reach, as we’ll detail below: multiple home office days per week and, depending on role and agreement, even 100% remote.

Technology breadth: Multiple software generations, diverse stacks, shared quality foundations

A core theme in the session is the breadth of technologies in play, driven by supporting multiple generations of software in the market. The result is a stack spectrum that provides entry points for both generalists and specialists.

Backend

Back-end engineering at CGM involves several established languages:

• Java
• JavaScript
• C#
• C++

For back-end developers, that means entry is not constrained to one primary language. If you bring experience in any of these, the session indicates clear fit and opportunities.

Frontend

CGM leverages Angular on the front end. For web engineers building structured, complex applications, that’s a familiar and robust foundation.

Quality assurance and testing

Quality assurance plays “a big role” in development, with specific tools and environments named:

• “SonarCube and TruScore”
• “Cypress and Kubernetes” for test environments

SonarCube points to code quality and static analysis. Cypress signals automated end‑to‑end testing in the web domain. Kubernetes in a test setting suggests reproducible environments and standardized deployments—vital for validating features across configurations.

Runtime environments

The session notes that CGM serves both .NET and Linux environments. For engineering teams, that’s a reminder of interoperability and heterogeneous target platforms—daily realities that benefit from clean interfaces, clear test matrices, and well‑documented build and release processes.

Roles and entry paths: Development, DevOps, Test—plus internships and theses

CGM is hiring classic developer roles and is “increasingly” focused on DevOps. The session also highlights a “very large test team,” with avenues into manual testing and test automation.

Beyond full‑time roles, the company offers multiple student entry points:

• Internships (including during summer holidays)
• Final theses and diploma theses

For talent growing into a regulated domain, this is attractive: real product teams, tangible QA standards, and exposure to how testing and deployments play out in an E‑Health context.

Onboarding, mentoring, and safety in the first months: a “Bali‑System” instead of being thrown in at the deep end

Onboarding at CGM is “very individual,” tailored to prior knowledge, experience, and area of deployment. Crucially, new joiners are guided by experienced colleagues during the first months:

The emphasis is on safety, feedback, and orientation. For teams, that reduces ramp‑up friction and accelerates knowledge transfer; for newcomers, it provides structure, access to accumulated expertise, and an environment where questions are welcome.

Work model: Locations, home office, 100% remote (depending on role), and flexible hours

The session explicitly addresses where and how work happens. In addition to numerous Austrian locations, multiple home office days per week are possible—and depending on role and agreement, so is fully remote work.

Moreover, flexible working hours are framed as one of the biggest benefits:

For engineering workflows, this is more than a convenience: focused development windows, cross‑site collaboration, and the ability to schedule testing/deployments at meaningful times all benefit from flexible scheduling.

Team culture, social events, and health: Community that amplifies impact

The session paints a picture of collaboration extending beyond projects. Social events, spontaneous activities, and health initiatives are part of the culture.

It’s common for colleagues to spend time together after work, organizing spontaneous activities such as:

• Billiards evenings
• Mario Kart tournaments
• Curling (Eisstockschießen)

There’s also a health promotion program—referred to in the session as “behelfe viel gut”—with shared activities and healthy habits:

For teams building software used in healthcare, that culture is a fitting frame: community that moves together, exchange beyond sprint reviews, and an internal emphasis on health to match the external mission.

What engineers can expect at CGM—recap

Based strictly on the session “Oliver Hermann, Rene Puchner & Bernhard Stefanits von CompuGroup Medical,” here’s what stands out for engineering and QA profiles:

• Meaningful impact: software that supports physicians, nursing, and administration—so focus returns to the patient.
