The German immigration law facilitates the path to Germany with a special solution just for IT professionals. You don’t have to prove that you have a relevant academic degree, nor do you have to be able to speak German to get a work visa. Your future employer can decide whether they think you’re up to it – and whether English is sufficient for the job.
After all, there are many IT professionals who have spent years on the job developing their extensive skills and may even have more than some of their colleagues after extensive studies.
Good jobs also pay well enough to allow you to enter the country with the so-called BlueCard. But you should still learn German, because it will make your life much easier!
For some professions it is clear who the potential employers are. As an IT professional, you can work almost anywhere and there is a shortage of skilled workers in every field.

And don’t forget the many IT service providers who employ you on a project basis to realise projects for their customers.
