WE ARE UBERALL – We are a tech-startup from Berlin that develops Europe's leading Geomarketing Platform.
It is our mission to contribute to this evolution by bringing online everything that's local, to provide complete and accurate information whenever and wherever needed - On our phones and on our tablets. On our PCs and in our in-car GPS systems. On websites and in apps. For known use-cases and upcoming opportunities.
We are a very ambitious company and are proud to focus on engineering. By now we have a very professional, skilled and fun team. Our tech stack is built on Groovy and Grails + enterprise proven technologies like Hibernate, Tomcat, Redis on the back-end side, and HTML5, JavaScript (ES2015, React, Redux, etc.), LESS, dogfooding our own REST API on the front-end.
We are looking for Frontend Engineers (m/f) to support our tech team. You will be working closely with product development and be responsible for turning their wildest dreams into reality.
About you:
- You take ownership of your work, & for you a feature is done when it makes using the product a better experience for all users
- Passion for all things in the browser, experience with modern frontend web technologies
- Creativity! We're open here, and if you've got a great idea, we want to know about it
- You understand the importance of quality and testing, you value automated testing as much as we do and see it as an integral part of the process
- You value maintainability, so clean & organized code goes without saying
What you would do at uberall:
- Build extensible widgets, pushing for the simplest integration of our latest functionality
- Develop our web-apps that our customers use every day to manage anywhere from 50 to 10s of thousands of business listings
- Build a reference connection to our extensive Rest API that both our partners and our own client apps us
That's nice when possible, but of course when something breaks you never know if it will be one hour or 30, and even then, I think there are a lot of cases where "let the developer know there's an issue" is still worth it, especially if the alternative is "drop it and say nothing because it's too much of a hassle."
Hey guessmyname, I'm surprised to hear that. As an expat working/living in Berlin for the last 5 years or so that hasn't been my experience.
Also, my current company has been hiring for a while now, and we may be an outlier, but we get lots of applications from people outside the EU and always take them seriously. We've helped several people go through the visa process already.
Your email is not in your profile, but my company is hiring :) feel free to hit me up at david.carter [at] uberall [dot] com
I can't find the link now, but I remember reading about a paper (probably through Marginal Revolution) that showed that, in the GDR, because men and women worked equally and earned equally (in the general case, party leaders aside), a lot of cultural gender equality just became the norm. E.g. men couldn't impress women with nice cars or any of the other status symbols that are so common in the West, and had to 'convince potential mates' through their personalities and actions.
So a lot of the gender roles of the West were basically obliterated, i.e. there was no real stay-at-home mother in the GDR, all mothers were working mothers. Seems to fit your experience, and the GP as well.

Is this gender equality? It sounds, and it may just be because you simplified it to fit into a single line, that the men were still having to impress the women. Wouldn't gender equality have been the end of there being a set gender having to impress the other?
Social signalling is relative to the things available for that society. Even if there were no "nice cars" available by your standards, there still were "impressive" cars, relative to the society in question.

Berlin, Germany: Took some savings from working back in the States, got here on a 90-day tourist visa, found an apartment and got my first working visa (without about 2 weeks to spare!, although you can extend a tourist visa here) as an English teacher. Later transitioned into a full-time development job.
Came here with my German girlfriend though, so I had a bit of help in terms of language, talking with bureaucracy, etc. But getting a visa (at least as an American!) was fairly straightforward and cheap, if occasionally slow and, well, bureaucratic.
Very cool. Signed up. I often find myself looking at technologies and thinking "Oh, I'll use that someday," then forgetting about them.
Feature request: Allow user to set minimum required browser support more granularly, e.g. 'IE>9 && 90%', kind of like how https://github.com/postcss/autoprefixer does
