We maintain over one million active tech job listings from 50+ ATS platforms. We don’t have a research team producing polished reports, but we do see patterns in the raw data every day. Here’s what stands out.
Python Is Everywhere
When we look at skill tags extracted from job descriptions, Python consistently appears in more listings than any other single language. JavaScript/TypeScript is close behind, but the gap has widened over the past year. The driver is clear: every company wants AI/ML capabilities, and Python is the default language for that stack.
Cloud Skills Are Table Stakes
AWS, GCP, and Azure appear across a huge range of roles — not just DevOps or infrastructure positions. We see cloud skills requested in backend, data engineering, ML engineering, and even some frontend roles. Docker and Kubernetes follow a similar pattern: they’ve moved from “nice to have” to expected.
Remote Has Stabilized
After the 2022-2023 peak, the proportion of fully remote listings has plateaued. Most of what we import falls into on-site or hybrid categories. Fully remote positions still exist but are a minority — and they attract significantly more applicant volume according to the ATS platforms we source from.
Hybrid is the fastest-growing category in our data. Companies want people in the office 2-3 days a week.
Berlin Dominates DACH
In terms of raw listing volume for the DACH region, Berlin has more active tech job listings than any other city by a significant margin. Munich is second, followed by Hamburg and Frankfurt. Zurich and Vienna round out the top tier for German-speaking markets.
AI/ML Roles Are Exploding
The most obvious trend: AI/ML Engineer roles have grown faster than any other category in our data. Platform Engineer and SRE are also growing steadily. Meanwhile, generic “Full Stack Developer” listings are declining as companies increasingly seek specialists.
What This Means for Job Seekers
- Learn Python if you haven’t. Even if you’re a frontend developer, Python literacy opens doors to AI-adjacent roles.
- Cloud skills are baseline. AWS/GCP/Azure experience appears across too many listings to ignore.
- Remote is real but competitive. If you want full remote, target companies that are remote-first by design, not remote-optional.
- Specialization pays off. The market rewards depth in AI/ML, platform engineering, and data engineering more than breadth.
