Career events

We are happy to share our participation in the IKOM Career Forum on June 25 this year at the Technical University of Munich (TUM)! We are no strangers to TUM, as we have been there previously with our EAT++ lecture and at Summer Parties, but this will be think-cell’s first time at the IKOM Fair.

TUM has again been named a University of Excellence and is thus the only technical university in Germany to continuously retain this status since 2006. Their Department of Computer Science in the School of Computation, Information and Technology is one of the largest teaching and research institutions for Informatics in the country.

Our own team, with HR team members and Software Developers, will be present with a booth at IKOM to discuss with the participants the exciting career opportunities available at think-cell, including our C++ Developer position and C++ Internship with an option to write your academic thesis with us.

Make sure to stop by to network with C++ experts and learn more about the benefits think-cell offers, such as our competitive salaries, flexible working hours, relocation assistance, and the chance to collaborate with an international team of brilliant minds.

We will be also organizing a raffle with an array of useful branded gifts and snacks so no one will leave think-cell’s booth empty-handed.

We are looking forward to meeting you on June 25, 2024!

On May 30, 2024, we are thrilled to return to Humboldt University in Berlin (HU Berlin), where it is ranked 87th in the world and fourth in Germany. This is our sixth visit to HU Berlin and this time we are bringing something unique.

Our Software Engineer, Jonathan Müller, will serve as a guest lecturer on “A Deep Dive into Dispatching Techniques” as a part of the "Programming in C" lecture in the Department of Computer Science. Jonathan will cover everything from simple switch statements to jump tables and computed goto, with insights into performance analysis tools, assembly, and implications of CPU design.

The lecture will take place from 3:00 pm until 4:30 pm in the Johann-von-Neumann-Haus (Rudower Chaussee 25, 12489 Berlin) in Room 3.001. While the presentation will be delivered in German, the slides will be in English. Q&A sessions can accommodate both English and German.

For those interested, we encourage you to register here and submit your questions in advance, as the lecture is free and will be attended by 80 students and around 100 external attendees. Your questions will help make the session more fruitful and engaging.

Additionally, Yik from our HR team will also be there to answer questions regarding our innovative work environment, opportunities to join our international team, and the tailor-made application process for C++ Developer and C++ Internship positions.

We hope attendees will learn about optimization techniques.

We look forward to returning to HU Berlin on May 30, 2024!

We are excited to announce that we will be attending the KIT-Karrieremesse (Career Fair) at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) for the third time on May 15, 2024!

KIT is one of eleven Universities of Excellence in Germany, and the one that combines a long university tradition with large-scale national research. With approximately 10 000 employees, including roundabout 5 800 scientists and lecturers, and 22 800 students, KIT is a big science institution among the leading ones in Europe.

think-cell will be present at KIT-Karriermesse with a team of our own Software Developer Jonathan and HR team members, Julia, Anastasia and Sorina, to talk about our C++ Developer role, the C++ Developer internship and the opportunities for writing a thesis with think-cell. They will be happy to answer any questions and share all the perks of working for think-cell, such as a competitive salary, flexible working hours, relocation support and no deadlines or overtime.

We will also be giving away some branded goodies to everyone participating in our raffle, so make sure to come by our booth, get your gift and have a chat with the team.

We are looking forward to meeting the future professionals - students, PhD students, alumnae, and alumni of KIT at think-cell booth on May 15, 2024!

We are happy to report that we will be attending the konaktiva career fair on May 14, 2024!

The konaktiva, hosted at the renowned Technical University of Darmstadt (TU Darmstadt), is one of the oldest and largest student-organized business contact fairs in Germany. Since its opening in 1877, TU Darmstadt has been one of Germany’s most international universities. Furthermore, its Department of Computer Science, founded in 1972, is one of the very first faculties of its kind in the country.

Our own Software Developer, Jonathan, will give a talk 'Fun with C and C++ syntax' for all interested attendees, where he'll explore weird switch statements, unorthodox and unreadable declarations, and have a bit of fun with function pointers. Participants will also learn about some of the philosophies behind C's syntax choices and how C++ breaks them completely.

Our team, consisting of Julia, Anastasia, and Sorina from HR, will be there to discuss our C++ Developer roles among others, as well as the possibilities for C++ internship. We will answer questions and share all the benefits that think-cell offers, such as a competitive salary, flexible working hours, support for relocation, and an international team of brilliant minds, just to name a few. We will also have a raffle with many snacks and useful goodies.

We are looking forward to meeting everyone on May 14, 2024!

We are thrilled to announce that our Software Engineer, Jonathan Muller, has been invited as a guest speaker at LambdaConf to present his talk 'An (In-)Complete Guide To C++ Object Lifetimes' where audience will learn about the rules for object creation and destruction, and when it is safe to form pointers and references to object. They will also learn about advanced functions like std::launder, std::bit_cast, and std::start_lifetime_as.

LambdaConf was launched in 2014. It is a multi-disciplinary conference held in Colorado, featuring talks that discuss everything from Artificial Intelligence and DevOps to Functional Programming and System Programming Language. The conference offers a great opportunity to connect with the wider programming community and exchange ideas across programming languages and paradigms.

We are very excited about this opportunity and eagerly anticipate exploring this new conference on our bucket list!

At the end of April, C++ Now will be taking place in the beautiful surroundings of Aspen, Colorado, USA for the 12th time. The event is described as a community centered conference that has a unique picking of key people in the C++ community, and a strong focus on looking at the future of the language. It attracts people who are truly passionate about the language and is run by volunteers of a not-for-profit.

We are especially happy to be the video sponsors of the conference this year, as our aim is to support the broader C++ community with innovative content. For those who cannot attend in person; the good news is that all conference videos will be uploaded to YouTube where they can be watched for free at any time.

We are also proud to announce that Jonathan Müller, our Software Engineer will be presenting his 90 minute talk “An (In-)Complete Guide to C++ Object Lifetimes”. In this talk the audience will learn about the rules for object creation and destruction, and when it is safe to form pointers and references to object. They will also learn about advanced functions like std::launder, std::bit_cast, and std::start_lifetime_as.

We wish everyone a delightful conference and are thrilled to take part for the fourth time!

This spring, we will be participating in Spain's largest C++ conference, using std::cpp, for the third time.

It is organized by the Computer Science and Engineering Department of Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, and supported by the Standard C++ Foundation. The conference will take place over three full days between the 24th and 26th of April.

Two members of our development team will be giving their talks during the conference. You can hear Senior Software Engineer Sebastian Theophil’s talk “The top 5 debugging techniques — Number 5 will surprise you!” on Thursday the 25th of April at 12:50pm and Software Engineer Jonathan Müller’s talk “The New Library On The Block: A strong library foundation for your next project” on Friday the 26th of April at 17:00.

To find out more about our technical roles and the way we work, come meet Julia and Anna from our HR team at the think-cell booth. Sebastian and Jonathan will also be present and happy to answer any questions.

You will also have the chance to participate in our raffle to win some fun prices, and to pick up some sweet and savory snacks from Berlin.

We can't wait to be back in Madrid!
