Mobile developer: job profile and outlook

Mobile developers create applications for smartphones and tablets, serving both the iOS and Android ecosystems. They either work natively for one platform or use cross-platform frameworks to cover both operating systems with a single code base. Mobile apps are now a central component of almost every company's digital strategy, and cross-platform development with frameworks such as React Native, Flutter or Kotlin Multiplatform is becoming increasingly important. In addition to knowledge of the respective frameworks, mobile developers also need an understanding of platform-specific features, mobile UX patterns, offline functionality, push notifications and app store deployment processes. Performance optimisation and battery conservation are other important aspects. Salaries for mobile developers are at a high level and are often above the average for web development. Developers with both native and cross-platform experience are particularly in demand. Start-ups, e-commerce companies and financial service providers offer particularly attractive salaries, with career opportunities ranging from Junior Mobile Developer to Senior Developer to Mobile Architect or Head of Mobile. The increasing importance of mobile-first strategies, super apps and mobile payment solutions ensures that mobile developers will continue to be in high demand and have excellent prospects for the future.

How we calculate

  • Sources: job ads with a stated salary that are assigned to a role, plus recorded salary data sets. Currently 6,381 active IT jobs state their salary.
  • Range: lower 10 % to upper 10 % (P10–P90), so that individual outliers do not shift the limits. The median splits the values into two equal halves.
  • Plausible: only gross annual salaries between €15,000 and €250,000; placeholders and monthly values are excluded.
  • Calculator: role median × experience factor × federal state factor. The factors come from 4,290 salary data sets – each as a ratio to the median of its role, so the mix of roles does not distort them.
  • Minimum size: breakdowns by skill, city and work model only appear from 20 values; every figure states its basis.
