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:
- java
- aws
- python
- spring
- javascript
- docker
- sql
- kubernetes
- react
- apis
- nosql
- kafka
- typescript
- go
- kotlin
- node
- mongodb
- api
- restful
- postgresql
- gcp
- nodejs
- mysql
- ruby
- boot
