Insights
Security is the price of entry, not your edge
Security appears in 64% of postings, near-universal.
Do this: Listing Security only keeps you in the room. Differentiate on the rarer skills, and tie Security to a concrete outcome.
This role is less remote than it feels
Only 13% of postings are fully remote. Hybrid is 56% and onsite 12%.
Do this: Plan your search around being reachable from a hub; treat fully-remote roles as a bonus, not the baseline.
The language bar is mostly unstated, that's leverage
60% of postings state no language requirement; only 12% explicitly require German.
Do this: Apply confidently in English where language is blank (it's a floor, not a ceiling). Add a German level only when it strengthens you.
