Medical device and industrial software with embedded systems and document management
Softgate develops certified medical device software, industrial automation solutions, and document management systems for mid-market companies across Europe. The tech stack (C++, C#, Java, Python, Docker, Kubernetes, Azure, AWS, PostgreSQL) supports both embedded and cloud workloads. Active hiring is engineering-heavy with a mix of interns and leads, signaling hands-on mentorship within a growth phase — common in regulated software shops managing technical debt while scaling.
