Hoping to move to Austria from US

Hi, my husband and I and 3 kids AND mother are planning to move to Austria (or Germany or Switzerland) in the coming year. I am a German citizen still, but have lived as a permanent resident in the US for 33 years. We want to raise our family in Europe and are tired of the US. My husband is a neutralized US citizen. We are actively searching for an IT job (Oracle DBA) for my husband that does not require German. It is my understanding that he can apply for a resident and work permit after we arrive.
We are excited at this new adventure, but anxious about all the paperwork and detail and red tape we will have to negotiate to make this happen.
Does anyone know if there is an advantage to my being a German citizen when it comes to my husband working in Europe?
Any help, advice, job prospects, or friendship is appreciated!
Adriana

I am an American Expat living in Germany. Cant help with the job but many job search sites (Stepstone and Monster, etc) do have job listings in English. Frankfurt, Cologne and perhaps Munich should have enough American companies that would employ english speakers.

The following will give you info on the immigration process for your husband. Good luck.
