Germany

Feeny is tracking about 5,180 open tech roles across Germany, from roughly 538 companies hiring. Each listing is pulled from a company's own careers page, so it reflects a live opening, not an old repost. The work spreads across several cities rather than piling into one, from Berlin to Munich to Frankfurt and Hamburg. Filter by city or discipline to narrow the field.

Berlin is the startup capital and carries the most early-stage volume. Munich is the industrial and deep-tech counterweight, with big corporates like Siemens and BMW running large tech operations alongside newer companies. Frankfurt is where the fintech and banking-adjacent roles sit, and Hamburg holds media and logistics tech. Across the 10 German cities we index, the country is genuinely multi-hub, so where you want to live shapes the search as much as the role does.

Berlin's fintech names lead the startup side: N26 and Trade Republic both scaled out of the city, and Helsing has become one of Europe's most-watched defense-tech companies. Munich is where the industrial giants live, with Siemens and BMW running serious engineering teams. Frankfurt's hiring skews toward finance-adjacent software. Feeny lists roles from about 538 companies nationwide, so the live set is worth checking directly.

The mix leans backend and platform engineering, industrial and mobility tech, and fintech. Germany's manufacturing base means real demand for engineers who can work on automotive, robotics, and factory software, especially around Munich. Berlin's startups pull in backend and product people, while Frankfurt adds payments and banking systems. It's a market that values solid engineering over hype.

Germany takes work-life balance seriously, with strong labor protections and a culture that doesn't glorify burning yourself out. Berlin is cheaper and more international than Munich, which is pricier but sits next to the industrial money. Salaries are solid rather than spectacular by US standards, but they stretch further given the healthcare and social system. The honest trade is bureaucracy: registering, banking, and paperwork can be slow, and a lot of official life still happens in German.

The EU Blue Card is the standard route for skilled non-EU workers, and it's well-trodden for tech roles. You'll generally need a recognized degree and a job offer above a salary threshold, so those are the two things to check first. Germany also offers a Job Seeker visa that lets qualified people come and look for work on the ground. The country is actively courting foreign tech talent, so the market is genuinely open to skilled hires.
