What we found

Only 6% of remote jobs are open to people in Germany. That’s 3,949 of 60,757.
About 1 in 2 only hire in the United States. 26,085 jobs, plus 2,197 more open to the US and just one or two other countries.
Many more hire in a single other country. 20,358 are open in one country that isn’t Germany or the US.
“Work from anywhere” is rare. Only 489 jobs, about 1 in 124, are open to anyone, anywhere.
1,579 jobs are open only to people in Germany. The rest of the 3,949 name Germany alongside other countries, or a region that includes it, such as Europe, DACH or EMEA.
Pay is mostly hidden. Only 620 of the 3,949 show a salary, 370 of them in euros.
Some roles are more open than others. About 11% of product jobs are open to Germany, and 9% of security jobs, but only 4% of finance and legal ones.
1,130 companies are hiring people in Germany remotely. 439 of these jobs were posted in the past week.

What it means if you’re job hunting in Germany

Check who a job is open to before you apply. Look for “must be based in the US” or “authorised to work in the United States” in the description.
A salary in euros, a Central European time zone (CET) or “Germany”, “DACH” or “EMEA” in the location are good signs.
Or skip the checking: every job on Remotejobify has been read this way, and shows the line that proves it’s open to you.

How we counted

We read each job from the company’s own job board, including its location and description, and work out who it’s open to. A job counts as open to Germany if it names Germany, a region that includes it, like Europe, DACH or EMEA, or says you can work from anywhere. A job that doesn’t say counts as not open. These numbers are from today’s list, 11 November 2026, and change as jobs open and close.
