Insights
Python is the price of entry, not your edge
Python appears in 77% of postings, near-universal.
Do this: Listing Python only keeps you in the room. Differentiate on the rarer skills, and tie Python to a concrete outcome.
This role is less remote than it feels
Only 18% of postings are fully remote. Hybrid is 46% and onsite 10%.
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
79% of postings state no language requirement; only 7% 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 93% of postings (Machine Learning, LLMs, MLOps).
Do this: If you've shipped with these, make it concrete and visible, rare equals differentiating.
