Berlin Tech Companies Post 3,800+ Open IT Roles, Competing for European Talent
More than 3,800 software and IT positions sit unfilled in the city, with English-language postings and competitive pay drawing candidates from across Europe.
How we reported this
Berlin lists more than 3,800 open IT and software developer positions as of mid-July, according to current listings on englishjobs.de. Netgo group GmbH alone advertises 108 separate roles. The figures come from aggregated job boards that track postings from both startups and established firms.
The numbers matter because Berlin functions as Germany’s main technology centre. Companies here compete for talent against other European hubs while facing the same demographic pressures that have left the wider city with a projected shortfall of roughly 560,000 skilled positions by 2035.
Roles and pay on offer
Postings highlight demand for AI engineers, software engineers, technical leads, systems engineers and cybersecurity specialists. More than 220 of the advertised IT jobs specify English as the working language, lowering barriers for applicants who do not yet speak German. Salaries listed on germantechjobs.de range from €45,000 to €55,000 for junior engineers, €75,000 for associate-level staff and €100,000 to €125,000 for senior positions.
Accenture, Amazon and Capgemini appear among the active hirers, alongside 99 startups tracked on LinkedIn job feeds. The combination of multinational employers and smaller ventures creates a broad set of entry points for candidates at different career stages.
Where candidates are looking
Job boards such as berlinstartupjobs.com and wellfound.com show daily updates from firms based in neighbourhoods that host dense clusters of technology offices. Applicants can filter by English-language requirements and salary bands directly on those platforms. Training subsidies under the federal Qualification Opportunities Act, updated in April 2024, remain available to support upskilling for roles that employers have flagged as hard to fill.
Individuals interested in current openings can review the latest postings on englishjobs.de and germantechjobs.de, then match their experience against the salary ranges and role descriptions listed there. Regular checks on berlinstartupjobs.com provide additional startup-specific listings that update throughout the month.
