The frontend team consists of 6 devs, looking to grow by several members. Our stack: React, Angular, Webpack, Lodash, Node and Express. Some things we love: functional programming, vim, linux, clean code, and beautiful design. Sound like you? Get in touch with us!

We are hiring both senior and mid-level developers:

SumUp could be interesting for you as an engineer in part because we cover so many platforms: we have physical hardware (made right here in Berlin), our own proprietary payment processing platform, mobile apps on iOS and Android, SDKs and APIs supporting third-party integration, and of course (the main star, in this team's humble opinion) a merchant-facing web app.

>>> Senior Frontend Engineer: https://sumup.com/careers/senior-frontend-developer

Our tech stack includes React, Angular 1.6, Webpack, Node (Koa and Express), Lodash, d3, and a little RxJS.

You'll be a great fit if you have a passion for technical excellence, enjoy implementing beautiful designs, are relatively comfortable working on the command line, and strive to learn something new every day!

I would guess yes, but you have to take a junior position as your first in the new field. A good developer can probably specialize in just about anything, but it takes time to learn the specifics. My 2c!

Yeah, I was also shocked that you can graduate a bootcamp without understanding that. But I watched candidates building a React app with Redux and literally not understanding, when you ask them to declare an array, what you even mean by that...

What area of software development are you in?

Who here has actually interviewed Bootcamp graduates? I've had people who didn't know the difference between an object and an array, and people who had to comment their way through implementing a function that replicates "filter" in javascript.

I really don't buy it that people straight out of Bootcamp can land a job at any of these companies at such salaries. You need a lot more background knowledge before that.

Or is this a case of survivor bias, where these are the salaries of only the most qualified graduates who had a ton of background knowledge before going in?

I don't see it.

SumUp | Fullstack Javascript Engineer | Berlin | ON-SITE, Visa | http://sumup.co.uk (or http://sumup.de if you speak German already!)

I am looking for someone who loves JavaScript to join the team. Our fullstack position is frontend-heavy, so it's also perfect for someone who is UI/UX-oriented but also wants to become better rounded. It can also work for someone who is traditionally a backend-er and wants to see what all the hype in the frontend is about. Our base expectation is a solid foundation in programming, and we're off to a great start. You'll fit in perfectly to our team if:

- You not only love coding, but also take the time to reflect on the benefits and drawbacks of your tools, be they frameworks, languages, or processes.

- You strive for clean code, but also know how to make your "shortcuts" easy to delete in a crunch.

- You know what to test, why to test it, and how to write flexible tests that won't break with minor changes.

- You're comfortable with Linux and know how to get things done on the command line, including on remote servers.

- You're not afraid to use Google or ask for help when something is beyond your grasp.

- You care about user interaction, usability, and of course – making the interface beautiful.

- In general, technology excites you and you strive to learn something on a daily basis!

We're working on an Angular 1.6 app, and transitioning sections of it to React. An ideal team mate would have familiarity with both frameworks, but a solid foundation in one is sufficient.

SumUp | Junior Frontend Developer | Berlin | ON-SITE, Visa | http://sumup.co.uk

The junior developer position is for someone who wants to grow into being more technical, but is already starting with a solid foundation in HTML, CSS, and programming fundamentals. This position is perfect for someone who finds the fullstack job description exciting, but needs to get some more experience before taking the leap.

I put a lot of effort into writing a comprehensive job ad that should give you a good idea of what we offer, and what we want to see in you, and what you would ACTUALLY be doing while working here. Please have a look and get in touch!

You would need to buy past versions of the software I think. I don't know how that works -- I just use my parent's copy every year. You get like 3 licenses whenever you buy the software, so if you know someone else who needs to file maybe you can share ;)

But I think you'll have to print them out and mail them in manually, rather than electronic filing. But I haven't tried myself so I'm not sure.

(Edit: To be clear, the tax software is versioned by tax year. So, "Turbotax 2016" is what I will use this year. So you'd have to buy Turbotax 2015, 2014, and 2013 presumably.)

You can "replace" the degree with sufficient professional experience, at least for Germany. Ideally you've got several years.

I use TurboTax and it's built into the software finally, and makes this quite simple. Originally they just made you look at the tax form and fill it out yourself, but they've really improved the "foreign american" parts of the tax software in the past two years.

I'd say it's probably a matter of not having a 'european palate' so to speak. It's like if you give two red wines to someone who doesn't usually drink wine. They'll tell you they taste the same, but to someone who drinks red wine daily, they are totally different. I have traveled the US, and have lived in Europe for several years, and would completely disagree with your assessment.

There's ~90k cap. If your foreign-earned income is less than that, you state the tax paid in Germany and don't need to pay for US taxes. If you make more than ~90k, you have to pay taxes for the amount over ~90k.

One thing not mentioned in this post is the minimum amount you need to have in the bank. I've heard people with as little as 3k, but technically Germany asks that you have 10k in the bank to prove that you are economically viable even between jobs. It's up to the discretion of the person at the Foreigner's Authority who decides on your application.

It is much easier to obtain the freelancer visa after you've worked for a german company for some time. I know people who have been rejected from the freelancer visa for not having sufficient money in the bank.

You can also just ask friends/family to loan you the money so you can take a screenshot of it to show to the person at the foreigners authority ;)

Edit: Also, if you're really interested in moving to Berlin/Germany, I have a bunch of content about this on my blog (incl. the entire process end-to-end) you might find useful: http://notanomadblog.com/categories/work-abroad/

As I see that elsewhere you mentioned that you only have basic technical skills, I will offer you this information:

* If seeking a job, you will have a hard time being hired without much more experience.

* You cannot "just move" to any European country without getting a job there, unless you have a bunch of money in the bank or proven income (usually a minimum of 50k a year), and only some countries allow you to come for "non-lucrative" purposes. Easiest is Spain.

* Getting a freelancer visa is generally difficult unless, again, you can prove a track record. It's much easier to start as a normal employee and apply to be a freelancer after a few years in the system.

* My #1 suggestion to anyone looking to move to Europe for work: Come here on vacation, apply for jobs in person, land a contract, move here. Getting a job in person is so much easier. In Germany you need to make at least 38k to qualify for the skilled worker visa. You can make as little as ~36k if your job is in a STEM field. You will not get hired without solid experience if you're applying from America, I can tell you that with near certainty.

I have a hand full of articles on my blog you may find useful. However, they are mostly geared towards people who are highly skilled. IMO you need to focus on honing your skillset before you try to move abroad, because any European country is only going to take you if you're an asset to the system or rich enough, basically.

http://notanomadblog.com/categories/work-abroad/

I'm a developer from the US living in Berlin. I've been in Germany for about 3.5 years now. Let me know if you have any questions and I'll be happy to answer them!

As a last statement: I love living in Europe and may never move back to the US.

Thanks so much! Means a lot :)

Hope it's helpful!

Just wow. I don't know what they hope to gain from these pieces of paper, but alright :D

Thanks for the encouragement! I'm utterly enamored with the idea of stateless functional components or whatever the fancy word is for them. Will be trying this on a 'real world' problem next week, when I introduce react to our angular codebase :D

Thanks wheels! If you have any corrections for the guide, I'd love to get them -- I wrote it about 2 years after the process so it's possible I missed something for sure.

I have seen the Blue Card website, but never knew how it works! I just did what the university told me to do -- and knowing german bureaucracy, it's no wonder they led me towards "the traditional route". In any case, the blue card sounds like a really cool scheme, the process as it stands is so complicated and involves so much freaking MAIL!
