Companies with the most open jobs
How we counted
Generated on 15 October 2026 from the 3,583 jobs live on Germany Dev Jobs at that moment. A city, role, stack or company needs at least 3 jobs to be listed, and a list needs at least 3 rows. Shares and the seniority split need at least 20 live jobs. Smaller numbers are left out rather than shown.
- Live jobs
- Job ads shown on Germany Dev Jobs when this report was generated. We list only companies where we found evidence that English is the working language.
- Companies hiring
- Companies with at least one live job.
- New jobs we found this month
- Ads we saw for the first time during the report month (UTC), including ads that have closed since. This number grows when we add companies to Germany Dev Jobs, so it does not show whether hiring went up or down.
- Shares
- The number of live jobs with a feature, divided by all live jobs. We read features from the ad text, so an ad that does not mention visa sponsorship counts as not offering it.
- Visa sponsorship
- The ad says the employer sponsors a visa or work permit.
- Relocation support
- The ad offers help with moving.
- Apply from abroad
- The ad accepts applicants who live in another country.
- No German needed
- The ad is written in English and does not ask for German.
- Fully remote
- The ad says the job is fully remote.
- States a salary
- The ad gives a pay figure or range, in any currency.
- Advertised salary
- Yearly salaries in EUR from live ads that state one. Monthly salaries count 12 times. For the median, each ad counts once, at the middle of its range. The range runs from the 10th percentile of the lower bounds to the 90th percentile of the upper bounds. Hourly and other-currency salaries are left out, and so are yearly figures under 10,000 or over 1,000,000. B2B (invoiced) salaries are kept apart from employment salaries. Ads that name no contract type count as employment.
