Healthcare billing processor and software platform for German medical providers
Dr. Güldener Gruppe processes billions in annual billing volume for healthcare providers across Germany, operating a modernized stack (Java, Spring Boot, Angular, Kubernetes, SQL Server, PostgreSQL) while phasing out legacy Informix databases. The engineering-heavy hiring mix and active project slate around software landscape consolidation, Pega low-code solutions, and database migration signal an organization in active infrastructure modernization—moving away from monolithic systems toward containerized, cloud-native architectures on Azure.
