01 · Decision
Three directions, compared on the same postings.
Each direction shows the confirmed skills that fit it, how many postings ask for them and the first thing to check.
Cloud DevOps engineer
819 postings with skills in the past year from 363 employers; 301 open in the last 30 days. Fits Kubernetes, Terraform, Docker, CI/CD, AWS, Python, Linux, Ansible and Azure.
Check first: Security, asked for in 143 of 819Cloud engineer
96 postings with skills from 57 employers; 117 open in the last 30 days. Fits AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform, Azure and Python.
Check first: Automation, asked for in 19 of 96IT/Software Architect
38 postings with skills from 13 employers and none open in the last 30 days, so it is not the move for a job now.
Check first: AWS microservices, 18 of 10502 · Postings open now
All 301, closest to you first.
For each posting: employer, place, level, stated pay, a link and how many of the skills it lists the profile already has. A job posted more than once is listed once.
| Posting | Employer | Where | Level | Skills you have |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Senior DevOps Engineer | hyrUP GmbH | Frankfurt am Main | Senior | 12 of 15 |
| Senior DevOps Engineer (freelance) | iVentureGroup | Hamburg | Senior | 10 of 13 |
| Senior DevOps Lead | LivePerson | Germany | Lead | 10 of 15 |
| Senior DevOps Engineer (AWS + CDK) | JTL-Software-GmbH | Berlin | Senior | 9 of 15 |
| Senior DevOps Engineer | INFORM GmbH | Aachen | Senior | 9 of 15 |
Why senior and lead first
The profile says lead level, so postings at that level or one below come first; mid-level roles follow. A posting that lists one skill does not outrank one where you have twelve.
03 · Pay, levels and places
What is stated, and where.
Yearly salaries in euros as employers state them. A level shows a range only when enough postings state one; otherwise the report says so.
- All levels: €38,440–€82,500, median €71,250
- Mid level: €38,440–€75,000, median €65,000
- Senior and lead: too few stated to show a range
- Lead or principal: 30
- Senior: 264
- Mid: 503
- Junior: 21
- Berlin: 33
- München: 33
- Hamburg: 30
- Frankfurt am Main: 22
- Bremen: 15
04 · Your next moves
Three moves. The last one names the postings.
The report ends with actions and when each one is done, not generic advice.
- 01
Write down one recent piece of work that shows Kubernetes
Cloud DevOps postings ask for it most often among the skills you confirmed (66% of them).
Done when you have a two-line example with a result you could say in an interview. - 02
Build one small piece of proof for Security
It appears in 17% of cloud DevOps engineer postings in Germany and is not in the confirmed profile.
Done when you can describe or show a result that uses it. - 03
Apply to the two postings you fit best
Senior DevOps Engineer at hyrUP GmbH (12 of 15 skills) and Senior DevOps Engineer at iVentureGroup (10 of 13).
After ten applications or four weeks: continue if one led to a reply; otherwise revisit the gaps or try the next direction.
05 · Method and limits
The limits are part of the answer.
