## Where Do You Find Startup Jobs in Austria?

### StartupMap

4.7Best for Startup Jobs. Only tool that shows which Austrian and European startups are hiring right now on one map, before roles reach the job boards.

Best forAnyone targeting startup jobs who wants to find hiring companies directly instead of waiting for job ads[Visit StartupMap](https://startupmap.one)A free interactive map of over 4,000 European startups across 55 cities, including Vienna, Graz, and Linz. Filter startups by city, industry, funding stage, and hiring status to see which teams are actively recruiting right now.

Pros

- 4,000+ startups across 55 European cities on one map
- Filter by hiring status to see only recruiting startups
- Funding-stage and industry filters for targeted searches
- Free to use, no registration required

Cons

- A company directory, not a job board with full vacancy texts
- You still apply via the startup's own careers page
- Covers all of Europe, so filter to Austrian cities first

**StartupMap** (startupmap.one) is the best starting point for startup jobs in Austria. It maps **4,000+ European startups** across **55 cities** and lets you filter by **hiring status**, industry, and funding stage for **free**. That flips the usual search: instead of waiting for ads, you build a target list of Austrian startups that are recruiting and approach them directly.

Combine it with **DevJobs.at** for advertised tech roles in the Vienna startup scene and **LinkedIn**, where most Austrian startups post first. Startups are Austria's most **English-friendly employers**: many run English as the working language and sponsor [Red-White-Red Cards](/visa/work-visa) for international hires. Expect **equity or bonus components** on top of the Kollektivvertrag minimum, and check the startup's funding stage before joining: a recently funded scale-up hires faster than a pre-seed team. For the wider ecosystem, see our [Austrian startup guides](/startups).

## Where Do You Find IT and Software Jobs in Austria?

Job platforms for IT and software jobs in Austria in 2026: DevJobs.at, karriere.at, StepStone Austria, and LinkedIn compared by strength and language.
| Platform | Strength | Language |
| --- | --- | --- |
| [DevJobs.at](https://www.devjobs.at) | Curated developer-only listings, tech-stack filters | Many English roles |
| [karriere.at](https://www.karriere.at) | Largest volume, incl. IT roles outside Vienna | Mostly German |
| [StepStone Austria](https://www.stepstone.at) | Senior roles, salary benchmarks, English filter | Mixed |
| [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/jobs) | International companies, direct recruiter contact | Mostly English |
**DevJobs.at** is the specialist board for developers, with curated listings and many **English-language roles** in Vienna. **karriere.at** adds the largest volume, including IT roles in Graz, Linz, and Salzburg. IT professionals in Austria earn **EUR 45,000 to 75,000** gross per year as of 2026, and IT specialists sit on the **Mangelberufsliste**, which eases the [Red-White-Red Card](/visa/work-visa) path for non-EU developers. If you are choosing an employer rather than a board, our [IT services firms guide](/jobs/it-services) ranks the biggest Austrian tech employers.

## Where Do You Find Marketing and Creative Jobs in Austria?

Marketing has no dominant niche board in Austria, so the generalists carry the market: **karriere.at** lists the most marketing, PR, and content roles, followed by **StepStone Austria** for senior brand and product-marketing positions. **LinkedIn** is where agencies and scale-ups post **performance-marketing** and **social-media roles**, and **XING** still matters for DACH-region agency recruiters. Most agencies cluster in **Vienna**, with smaller scenes in Graz and Linz.

Language is the deciding factor: marketing produces German-language output, so **C1-level German** is expected for most copy, PR, and brand roles. The exceptions are **performance marketing**, **SEO**, and marketing roles inside English-first startups, which you find fastest via **StartupMap** and LinkedIn. Salaries typically run **EUR 38,000 to 60,000** gross for mid-level marketing roles under the applicable Kollektivvertrag; senior and head-of positions go higher.

## Where Do You Find Hospitality and Tourism Jobs in Austria?

Job platforms for hospitality and tourism jobs in Austria in 2026: Rolling Pin, HOGASTJOB, Hotelcareer.at, hokify, and the AMS eJob-Room compared by focus.
| Platform | Focus | Best for |
| --- | --- | --- |
| [Rolling Pin](https://www.rollingpin.com) | Gastronomy & hotel careers, DACH-wide | Chefs, service, hotel management |

| [hokify](https://www.hokify.at) | Mobile-first applications | Service & kitchen staff |
| [AMS eJob-Room](https://www.ams.at) | Public database, free | Seasonal winter/summer jobs |
Tourism is one of Austria's largest employers, and it hires on its own boards. **Rolling Pin** is the leading gastronomy and hotel career platform in the DACH region, and **HOGASTJOB** specializes in Austrian hotel and gastronomy roles, including the alpine resorts. The **winter season** runs roughly **December to April** and the summer season **June to September**, concentrated in **Tyrol, Salzburg, and Vorarlberg**. Many seasonal contracts include **staff accommodation and meals**, which makes them a common first job for newcomers.

Guest-facing roles need **conversational German**, while kitchens are often international and more relaxed about language. Pay follows the **hotel and gastronomy Kollektivvertrag**; tips come on top. Hospitality roles also appear on the shortage list in several federal states, which can support a [Red-White-Red Card](/visa/work-visa) application for non-EU workers.

## Where Do You Find Finance and Consulting Jobs in Austria?

**StepStone Austria** is the strongest board for finance, accounting, and consulting roles, with **salary benchmarks** on most listings. **LinkedIn** dominates for the international firms: the **Big 4** (Deloitte, PwC, EY, KPMG) and strategy consultancies post there and on their own career portals, and their Austrian offices recruit year-round for audit and advisory. **XING** reaches DACH-region recruiters, and **Experteer** targets **executive and head-of positions**. Banking roles at Erste Group, [Raiffeisen](https://www.raiffeisen.at), and BAWAG appear on karriere.at and the banks' own portals.

Consulting is one of the few Austrian industries where **English-only applications** are common, though **German C1** is expected for client-facing work with Austrian Mittelstand clients. For a ranked comparison of the firms themselves, see our [management consulting guide](/jobs/management-consulting) and the accompanying [user-review research](/jobs/management-consulting-comparison).

Read the full [finance and consulting jobs guide](/jobs/finance-jobs) for the ranked boards and application norms.

## Where Do You Find Graduate and Student Jobs in Austria?

**Absolventen.at** is the dedicated board for students, graduates, and early-career professionals, covering **internships (Praktika)**, **trainee programmes**, and junior roles tied to the university system. **UNIPORT**, the career service of the University of Vienna, runs its own job portal and career fairs, and **unijobs.at** lists academic and administrative positions at Austrian universities. karriere.at's entry-level filter adds volume across all sectors.

Trainee programmes at Austrian corporates usually start in **September and October**, with applications opening the preceding spring. Students from **EU/EEA countries** can work without restrictions; **non-EU students** are capped at **20 hours per week** on a student residence permit. Internships tied to a degree programme are standard in Austria, and paid internships fall under the Kollektivvertrag of the sector. For studying in Austria, see our [education guides](/education).

Read the full [graduate jobs guide](/jobs/graduate-jobs) for internships, trainee timelines, and work-hour rules.

## Where Do You Find Public Sector, NGO, and International Organization Jobs in Austria?

The Republic of Austria lists federal vacancies on **jobboerse.gv.at**, the official public-administration job board covering ministries and agencies; most roles require **Austrian or EU citizenship** and fluent German. **ngojobs.eu**, a Vienna-based board, collects **NGO and non-profit roles** across Austria and Europe, many of them English-speaking. The EU-wide **EURES** network adds cross-border public listings.

Vienna is one of the four major **UN headquarters** cities, hosting the **IAEA, UNIDO, CTBTO**, plus the **OSCE** and **OPEC**. These organizations recruit through their own portals, primarily [careers.un.org](https://careers.un.org) and each agency's vacancy page, and they hire in **English** with internationally competitive, often **tax-privileged salaries**. Competition is strong: international-organization hiring runs on rosters and can take **6 months or longer** from application to offer.

Read the full [UN, NGO, and public sector jobs guide](/jobs/public-ngo-jobs) for the Vienna organizations and application routes.

## Where Do You Find Skilled Trades and Blue-Collar Jobs in Austria?

**hokify** is the mobile-first Austrian platform for trades, retail, logistics, and operational roles: applications run from the phone and most listings need **no cover letter**. The free **AMS eJob-Room** carries the largest public database of blue-collar roles, and **willhaben Jobs** surfaces local SME positions that never reach the big boards. Electricians, welders, roofers, and several other trades sit on the **Mangelberufsliste**, which opens the [Red-White-Red Card](/visa/work-visa) route for qualified non-EU workers.

Austrian trades run on the **Lehre** (apprenticeship) system, and employers expect recognized qualifications: foreign certificates may need **Nostrifikation** (formal recognition). Pay follows the trade's Kollektivvertrag with **13th and 14th salaries**, and German at **B1 level** is usually required for site safety and customer contact.

Read the full [skilled trades jobs guide](/jobs/skilled-trades-jobs) for the shortage list and qualification rules.
