Working at UNiQUARE
UNiQUARE is a successful, expanding company that develops innovative software solutions of the highest quality for the international financial services industry. Each and every one of our employees contributes to the success of the company and its customers through competence, dedication and individual responsibility.
Our headquarters
Our headquarters is in Krumpendorf in Austria, just outside Klagenfurt. The building complex of our offices is located in a park with ample parking. We can also easily reach our workplace by public transport – walking time to the bus stop about 3 minutes, 5 minutes to Krumpendorf train station. From Klagenfurt, our offices can be reached in 10-15 minutes by car (~ 7.5 kilometers to the city center), from Feldkirchen and Villach in less than 30 minutes (Krumpendorf junction of the A2 motorway).
Our location is distinguished not only by the view from the offices in the park. We also have a south-facing terrace from which we can enjoy the view of the Pyramidenkogel (observation tower overlooking the lake Wörthersee), while we enjoy the gentle rush of the waterfall in the background. The lunch break can also be used for sport – running, cycling or in the summer a dip in the lake. There are in-house changing rooms, showers and sanitary facilities. And if the weather does not play along, there is also a free to use in-house gym.

UNiQUARE family
Our UNiQUARE team consists of around 120 colleagues. Each and every one of our employees contributes to the success of the company and its customers through competence, dedication and individual responsibility. In 2019 UNiQUARE was honored by the Austrian Federal Chancellery as a family-friendly employer.
We come from around 10 nations, speak 15 languages, have an average of 13.5 years with UNiQUARE (the longest-serving colleagues have already been around for around 29 years), together have over 100 children (and also a few grandchildren) and are between 26 and 63 years old. We are skiers, runners, footballers, mountain bikers, boulderers, yogis, stand up paddlers, basketball players, tennis players, sailors, musicians, bookworms, wine connoisseurs, grill masters, car freaks, computer gamers, globetrotters, digger drivers and more.

We are one of the top 3 of “Carinthia’s most family-friendly companies 2021″! We have received the coveted award organized by Woman in Business (Frau in der Wirtschaft) of the Austrian Economic Chambers. In strong competition among numerous companies from various industries, we were able to convince the jury in the category “large companies” of our always up-to-date family-friendly company policy over decades.

What is special about UNiQUARE – what inspires me about my job?
Generally the team cohesion in the company. The very collegial cooperation and the good understanding with the superiors.

My tasks are very varied and I can immediately implement the direct feedback that we receive from the market through the customer appointments.
The great flexibility at UNiQUARE and the diverse range of part-time models made it possible for me to switch to part-time education without any problems.
