Career events

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, 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++ internships. 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!

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!

We are thrilled to announce that think-cell is sponsoring the Datathon for the very first time. This event, hosted by the Analytics Club at ETH, is recognized as the largest student-run AI and Machine Learning society in Europe.

This year, approximately 180 talented students, carefully selected from 500 applications, will have the opportunity to showcase their skills and present creative solutions to today’s challenges within a 24-hour timeframe.

Scheduled to take place at Innovationspark Zürich from April 26 to 28, 2024, this event will feature not only the main challenges but also engaging side challenges for participants from renowned universities in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.

Alina, Senior AI Engineer, and Till, Machine Learning Engineer, will be there to present think-cell’s challenge, which involves leveraging AI to analyze image data and extract valuable insights for real-world applications.

We eagerly anticipate the innovative solutions from the Hackathon participants. See you there!

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!

We are proud to be the video sponsors of the ACCU Conference this year. ACCU has been running for over 30 years (!) and will be held between the 17 – 20 of April. It will be running as a hybrid conference with the in-person event taking place in Bristol, UK and the online event via live streaming sessions.

We are happy to announce that our own Software Engineer Jonathan Müller, will be presenting his 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.

Jonathan’s talk, and all other conference talks will be uploaded to YouTube, so be sure to check them out after the conference.

We are looking forward to watching the interesting talks!  

On April 15th, 2024, think-cell is excited to provide a C++ lecture at Freie Universität Berlin, one of Germany’s top-ranking universities and currently ranked 98th worldwide. 

We are pleased to re-establish our connection with the Freie Universität Berlin Institute of Computer Science, where we presented our previous lecture seven years ago.

We extend a cordial invitation to everyone interested in software development and debugging to join us for this unique C++ lecture. The presentation entitled "Nobody Can Program Correctly: A Practical and Interactive Guide to Debugging C++ Code" will be given by Sebastian Theophil, our Senior Software Engineer. Sebastian will take you through several debugging scenarios, explain the importance of bug reports from clients, and show you the best practices for effectively finding and fixing bugs in C++ codes.

We are grateful to the Institute of Computer Science for arranging a dedicated lecture hall (Großer Hörsaal, Takustraße 9, 14195 Berlin) for this lecture. We encourage you to secure your spot here and now since this presentation is free and the seats are limited.

Furthermore, Julia and Yik from our HR department will be present at our booth beginning at 3.30 p.m. with some surprises. They would be more than ready to answer any questions you may have regarding the current opening positions, our application process, and life in the dynamic development team at think-cell.

We can't wait to be back at Freie Universität Berlin soon!

We are looking forward to seeing all the students and C++ enthusiasts!

think-cell is thrilled to announce that we are resuming our Berlin C++ Meetups after a 5-year-long break. We aim to revive the C++ community in our city and provide a forum for enthusiasts to share their knowledge of the language.

The topic this time is "Nobody Can Program Correctly: A Practical and Interactive Guide to Debugging C++ Code". Our Senior Software Engineer, Sebastian Theophil, will walk you through the debugging procedure, how to identify the root cause in the event of a program crash, and how to make sure this fault never reoccurs.

Participants can enter from 6.30 p.m. onwards and the presentation will begin at 7 p.m. Following the discussion, you can have pizza and a drink while interacting with other C++ enthusiasts and software engineers from think-cell. Additionally, members of our HR team will be present to walk you through our application process, share insights into think-cell's work culture, and answer any other questions you may have.

It is completely free to take part in this event; however, since seating is limited, we encourage you to register here as soon as possible. The presentation will be posted to our website for later viewing by those who are unable to join us in Berlin.

The event is scheduled for Wednesday, 20th of March 2024, from 6:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. at Le Wagon Berlin.

A special thanks to Le Wagon for allowing us to utilize their space!

We look forward to an in-person discussion with the Berlin C++ Meetup group!
