Career events

Meet us at one of our upcoming events

All the great minds of our time have one thing in common: They have to eat something now and then.

Unknown thinker

think-cell takes this need very seriously, which is why it came up with the EAT++ series of career events. We regularly invite computer science students to talk over a meal in a relaxed atmosphere. We also support conferences on C++, Artificial Intelligence and Computer Graphics and give technical talks or complete technical courses on topics our developers know by heart.

We decided to do this, because we are constantly on the lookout for new software developers. We are very interested in emerging talent and will be happy to stay in touch with you over the longer term. Even if you have no specific plans for your professional future, we would still like to get to know you. And we think we can do that best when meeting in a relaxed, informal atmosphere.

C++ Meetup in Berlin, Germany 2024
November 13, 2024

Middle of November marks the next C++ Meetup that we organize for the community in Berlin. The event is for C++ engineers eager to explore the latest industry trends and techniques. It also offers a great networking opportunity before the Meeting C++ conference on November 14 in Berlin. We offer all a chance to connect with fellow engineers and industry experts over pizza and beer before the main event.

The agenda includes 2 talks delivered by the experts: Think Parallel by Bryce Adelstein Lelbach, Principal Architect at NVIDIA, and Express your expectations: A fast, compliant JSON pull parser for writing robust applications by our own Software Engineer Jonathan Müller.

The meetup will be held at Le Wagon, a vibrant and welcoming space perfect for our gathering. We would like to extend our gratitude to Le Wagon for their generous cooperation in hosting this event.

Seats are limited, so make sure to register on our Meetup event page to secure your spot as well as learn more about the talks and the speakers.

We look forward to an evening of technical deep dives and networking with fellow C++ engineers!

C++ Lecture at TU Munich, Germany 2024
November 4, 2024

In the beginning of November, we will return to TU Munich to deliver our own C++ lecture to the computer science students. This lecture marks a new milestone in our partnership with TU Munich, where we have previously participated in the IKOM career fair and hosted our EAT++ lecture and Summer Parties.

TUM is the only technical university in Germany to continuously retain the University of Excellence status since 2006. Its Department of Computer Science is one of the largest teaching and research institutions for Informatics in the country.

In his talk, "A Deep Dive into Dispatching Techniques," Jonathan Müller, a think-cell Software Engineer, will discuss assembly, optimizations, and profiling with the students.

At the core of an interpreter is a loop that iterates over instructions and executes them in order. This requires dispatching: based on the current instruction, it needs to select different code. A fast interpreter requires a fast instruction dispatcher, but so does everything else that needs to switch over a fixed set of different options.

This talk investigates various dispatching techniques, from simple switch statements to jump tables. We'll look at performance analysis tools, benchmarks, and lots and lots of assembly code, in order to learn ways to trick the compiler into generating the assembly code that we actually want.

The students will primarily learn about efficient dispatching techniques and their relative performance, but also about profiling, benchmarks, and CPU features like instruction caches and branch predictors.

We look forward to sharing our expertise and strengthening our collaboration through this technical exchange.

C++ Workshop for Dean's List students at RWTH Aachen, Germany 2024
October 29, 2024

This October, think-cell will return to RWTH Aachen for a special event – our very own workshop for Dean’s List students. The Dean's List recognizes the top five percent of students from each course of study, aiming to identify and continuously support outstanding students early on.

RWTH is known for its long-standing excellence in computer science education and research, ranked 50th globally and second among German universities by the Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2023.

"Aspects of Professional Software Engineering," a specialized workshop by think-cell, will be led by Senior Software Engineer Sebastian Theophil. The workshop is limited to just 20 students, with registration on a first-come, first-served basis. During the workshop, we want to show the students aspects of software development that are rarely taught at university. The code we write — unlike the code that students write for their assignments — will be read and changed for years, if not decades. It must be easily understandable and ideally correct.

Our workshop will consist of two parts: in the first we want to show the students how to write good code. We have prepared a couple of example problems and exercises that the participants will solve. We will discuss the solutions and find out what constitutes a good and canonical solution. In the second part we will develop a complex feature. We will play the part of one of our customers and tell the participants about a problem we are having. Together they will develop a solution.

After the workshop, Sebastian and the students will continue networking over dinner, joined by Jonathan Müller, Software Engineer and RWTH Aachen Dean’s List alumnus, and Anastasia from our tech recruiting team, who will be there to answer any questions about working at think-cell.

We are excited about the opportunity to meet RWTH’s top students and collaborate on building solutions together. Aachen, here we come!

CppCon in Aurora, USA 2024
September 15, 2024

think-cell is proud to announce our video sponsorship of the largest C++ conference in the world, CppCon again this year. CppCon is a weeklong conference taking place in Aurora, Colorado, USA. The conference is organized by the C++ community for the community and a project of the Standard C++ Foundation.

Two our speakers will be presenting their new talks this year. On Wednesday the 18th of September at 15:15 MDT, Senior Software Engineer Sebastian Theophil will present his talk “Reusable code, reusable data structures” where the software engineering principle DRY -- don't repeat yourself will be explored.

Software Engineer Jonathan Müller is presenting his debut talk “Back to Basics: Functional Programming in C++”, introducing functional programming in C++ using the modern standard library. You can hear the talk on Thursday the 19th of September at 09:00 MDT.

We’re happy to let you know that that conference talks can be watched on the CppCon YouTube channel free of charge afterwards, so be sure keep an eye out!

NDC TechTown in Konsgberg, Norway 2024
September 11, 2024

In early September, we’ll be attending NDC TechTown for the second year in a row. NDC TechTown is a C, C++, Embedded Software Conference for Product Development set in the idyllic countryside town of Kongsberg, Norway.

Our CTO and founder Arno Schoedl will be presenting his talk “Why Iterators Got It All Wrong — and what we should use instead”. The audience will learn that the iterator concept in the C++ standard library is a flawed concept. It really represents two very different things that we should distinguish: Elements and borders between elements. With the new C++ transform, filter and reverse ranges, this distinction is important in practice. Arno will be speaking in Room 3 on Thursday the 12th of September at 13:40.

Jonathan Müller, Software Engineer, is back this year with 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. You can hear the talk on Thursday the 12th of September first thing in the morning at 9:00 in Room 3.

 We are looking forward to hearing the talks and learning more about these topics!
