Tech jobs in Berlin: who is hiring, for what, and how much German you need

I counted every open role at the 171 tech companies hiring in Berlin on this board, 1,710 of them: what they're hiring for, how much German you need, what pay looks like where it's published, and who has the most open. Snapshot taken on 8 November 2026.

This board reads employers' own career pages, so these are their postings, not reposts. One thing first, because it changes how to read every number below: these are roles at tech companies, and tech companies hire salespeople, accountants and support teams too. So I split the building side from the business side, since "Berlin has 1,710 tech jobs" and "Berlin has 1,710 engineering jobs" are different claims.

The short version

  • 1,710 open roles at 171 companies. Only London has more on this board.
  • 732 are engineering, data, infrastructure or product. Sales is the biggest single family, at 291.
  • 15% of Berlin engineering roles require German.
  • 10% of postings publish pay. Where they do, the median is €86.7k.
  • 39% of what's open went up in the last 30 days.

Berlin against the rest of Europe

Open roles by city. Each row opens that city's board.
  1. London 3,950
  2. Berlin 1,710
  3. Paris 1,698
  4. Munich 1,401
  5. Amsterdam 1,108
  6. Dublin 1,002
  7. Warsaw 793
  8. Madrid 673

London is in a league of its own here, with more than twice Berlin's count. Below it, Berlin, Paris and Munich sit within 310 roles of each other, and Berlin is ahead of Paris by twelve. If you're open to moving within Germany, Munich is close behind with 1,401 roles at 140 companies.

What Berlin is hiring for

Berlin's open roles by group

Building the productSelling and running it

  1. Customer-facing 555
  2. Software 335
  3. Business 240
  4. Data & AI 162
  5. Product & Design 111
  6. Infrastructure 106
  7. Hardware 18

Customer-facing teams are the biggest block, and sales alone (291) is a bigger family than general software engineering (164). Add the building side up, though, and it's 732 roles, 43% of the city. AI and machine learning is 125 of those, the largest engineering family after general software. Another 183 roles aren't classified yet, so every group here is a floor rather than an exact count.

How much German you need

15% of Berlin's engineering roles require German: 91 of 599. The other 508 don't mention it or call it a plus.
Share of all open roles that require German
  1. Berlin 39%
  2. Munich 48%
  3. Hamburg 50%
  4. Frankfurt 50%
  5. Cologne 74%

Across all Berlin roles, sales and support included, 39% require German, the lowest of the five biggest German cities on the board. Cologne is at 74%. If your German is still a work in progress, Berlin engineering is the most open door in the country. 75 Berlin postings mention relocation support, and 40 say they help with the work permit or Blue Card.

Pay, where it's published

Read the caveat before the number. Only 175 of the 1,710 postings (10%) state pay, and they lean towards employers that publish ranges as a habit: Planet Labs, Almedia, Peec AI, Solaris and Google are among them. So this is what transparent employers offer, not the Berlin average.

€86.7k median stated pay in Berlin. The middle half of postings sit between €70k and €115k a year.
Stated pay by level: the bar is the middle half, the mark is the median
  1. Mid-level71 postings €77.5k €61.5k to €105k
  2. Senior and up81 postings €97.5k €83k to €125k

Office, hybrid or remote

Of the 930 postings that say where the work happens
  • Hybrid 65%
  • On-site 18%
  • Remote 17%

Hybrid is the Berlin default: two in three postings that say anything. Fully remote is 17%, a little under on-site. 780 postings don't say at all, so it's worth asking early.

Who has the most open

Open roles in Berlin by company. Each row opens the company's page.
  1. Tesla 76
  2. Enpal 74
  3. Zalando 68
  4. Doctolib 57
  5. GetYourGuide 53
  6. Amazon 52
  7. HelloFresh 46
  8. FlixBus 39
  9. Scalable Capital 35
  10. voize 30

These ten hold 530 roles, 31% of the city. The other 161 companies hold the rest, so Berlin hiring is spread wide rather than resting on a few names. One honest note on Doctolib: all 57 of its roles appeared here this week because it moved to a new hiring system and I re-read the board. That's not 57 new jobs, and the same goes for SIXT, which closed its Berlin branch roles and re-posted them under new ids. The companies that genuinely added the most in the last seven days were Enpal (13), FlixBus and Delivery Hero (11 each).

If you're starting out

There are 133 internships and 51 junior roles open in Berlin, 11% of the city. Enpal (23), Tesla (14) and Doctolib (10) have the most. In the postings that state pay, the gap between mid-level and senior medians is €20k. See every entry-level role in Berlin.

Other cities

The same board, one city at a time: Munich, Hamburg, Frankfurt, London, Paris, Amsterdam and Dublin. For the whole country there's the weekly Germany report.

How I counted: a role is open while it's on the employer's career page, and closes the first time it's gone. A role listed in several cities counts once in each. Pay is converted to euros a year and only comes from what the posting states. Every role links to the employer's own posting.
