Insights
SQL is the price of entry, not your edge
SQL appears in 75% of postings, near-universal.
Do this: Listing SQL only keeps you in the room. Differentiate on the rarer skills, and tie SQL to a concrete outcome.
This role is less remote than it feels
Only 12% of postings are fully remote. Hybrid is 49% and onsite 23%.
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
70% of postings state no language requirement; only 17% 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.
What's new: AI tooling is a real, still-rare signal
AI/GenAI skills appear in 28% of postings (Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence, AI Tools).
Do this: If you've shipped with these, make it concrete and visible, rare equals differentiating.
