How do you find English speaking jobs in Germany?

Use a board that only lists English-speaking roles. On general job boards you have to open each listing to find out whether German is required. English Jobs in Germany checks this before a job is listed.
Go straight to company career pages. If a company above fits you, its careers page often has roles before aggregators pick them up.
Search LinkedIn with English keywords. Set the location to Germany and add "English" or "international team".
Apply within days. Listings turn over quickly, so a weekly search misses roles.

How do you stand out when applying?

Use a clear, structured CV. Put a skills section at the top and keep it to one or two pages.
Write a short, specific cover letter. Name the role, the company and one result that proves you can do the job.
Show international experience. Work across countries, languages or time zones is an advantage in English-speaking teams.
Link your work. A GitHub, portfolio or case study does more than a list of duties.
