It's an Austrian law thing. They have to list a salary so essentially all job offers show the legal Kollektivvertrag minimum salary which is obviously way too little. They then add "es besteht die Bereitschaft zur Überzahlung" saying they're willing to pay more than that.

So essentially just ignore the salaries in Austrian job offers.

Just out of curiosity, how do typical ‘real’ dev salaries in Austria compare to KV values? What is a reasonable expectation for Junior, Senior, etc.?

Any number mentioned is going to be wrong. It heavily depends on the area the business is operating in, the size of the company, the work you have to do and the location you are based (Vienna/city vs country side).

Vienna is very competitive so salery can exceed KV quite a bit. Even for entry positions. On the country side it will depend but usually not much more. But costs of living (especially housing) are also lower.

In actual IT companies entry salaries for a developer these days is around 70k.
