Insights
Figma is the price of entry, not your edge
Figma appears in 74% of postings, near-universal.
Do this: Listing Figma only keeps you in the room. Differentiate on the rarer skills, and tie Figma to a concrete outcome.
The market is heating up, timing is an edge
Postings are up about 54% quarter over quarter.
Do this: Move early and apply broadly; in a rising market the edge goes to candidates who reach roles while the pool is small.
The language bar is mostly unstated, that's leverage
84% 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 23% of postings (AI Tools, Claude, Cursor).
Do this: If you've shipped with these, make it concrete and visible, rare equals differentiating.
