What German startups look for

November 11, 2021 at 1:08 am

I wanted to know what tech startups in Germany were looking for in their software engineering roles (0-3 yrs experience). To do so, I decided to refer to the LinkedIn Top German Startups lists [1] from 2019-2021. After copying the 'requirements' section of about 100 Software/Backend/Full-stack Engineer job listings from the above startups, I had a text file of 5565 words ready.

The following was the output after running a short Python script for cleaning out English stop-words along with non-skill terms and  printing the 25 most frequent skill terms in the text file:

  1. java    
  2. aws    
  3. python     
  4. spring    
  5. javascript     
  6. docker    
  7. sql    
  8. kubernetes     
  9. react
  10. apis
  11. nosql   
  12. kafka    
  13. typescript     
  14. go     
  15. kotlin     
  16. node    
  17. mongodb    
  18. api     
  19. restful     
  20. postgresql     
  21. gcp    
  22. nodejs
