This shows just how low the salaries are in Germany. The salaries listed here, at 50k€/annual, were what I was making in 2012, when I entered Germany.

That got into 2024 postings fairly quickly. I don't get the sense that the data is very fresh or expansive.

it is fresh, but it is certainly not expansive. there aren't many businesses that work with and produce FOSS exclusively. and for all others it would be hard to guarantee that you are gong to work on FOSS most or all of the time, so i'd think that not to many jobs even qualify

It is ridiculous to post a jobs listing side without salaries or salary ranges listed.

As people who want to work we should just reject using pages like this, as this favours only employers.

Unfortunately, that's normal in Germany and many listing are German. Fortunately, this fucking practice will be illegal in a little over 4 months.

there aren’t many such jobs

There's definitely a lot more I think but they just don't all get posted there. I know I've seen various FOSS jobs but they get posted or talked about in IRC, mailing lists for a specific project, etc.

But you're right to say there aren't a ton relative to non-FOSS jobs.

There are definitely a lot from big companies like Intel/AMD/RedHat, and some medium companies like Canonical. More on the FOSSjobs wiki.

"Senior Software Engineer (all genders) - Wikibase Suite"

wtf do they mean by "all genders"? Just write Senior Software Engineer, that is genderless by default?

The term is a gendered one in German. See also, e.g., https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14462318

It's a weird direct translation from German. The word for an SWE is gendered, but the postings clarify that the job is open to everyone.
