  • Prioritize primary technologies: list Java, Docker, Kubernetes and AWS prominently in requirements.

  • Describe role scope and seniority clearly rather than using a generic job title.

Strengthen IT job ads with transparent posted gross salaries

  • Use a concise job title combining role and key technology (e.g. 'Back End Developer — Java, Docker').

  • State a posted gross salary range and reference median or average values for orientation.

  • Clearly state working model (Onsite / Hybrid / Full remote) and any remote conditions.
