BERLIN/THE FACTORY, BRAND NEW: Node.js + NoSQL Growth Hacker for High Traffic Site (Fulltime)

Top 5 reasons why you should move to Berlin, right now:

1. Absolutely lowest livings costs with highest quality of living. Stay in gorgeous, perfectly renovated apartments in pre-WWII residential buildings with high ceilings, right in the middle of the center and pay a fraction of costs of any other capital (even cheaper than any Eastern European capital). No need for a car—Berlin has one of the densest subway nets and wide streets make biking fun.

2. A vibrant and Europe's fastest growing ecosystem of smart people and tons of networking events. A vast number of new software talents, founders, software companies and VCs move to Berlin every day (Twitter, Google/Google for Entrepreneurs, Soundcloud, Early Bird, Mozilla and many more).

3. People here are open-minded, outgoing, mix well and international—no need to learn one word German, everyone speaks English. Making new friends is a matter of days. Visit tons of networking and startup events.

4. Easy work permissions—Europeans do not need any and can work from day one and the rest applies for the hassle-free Blue Card.

5. Berlin's night life is unmatched, huge and changing every day (plus ridiculously cheap). Berlin has got some of the most dazzling, naughty, and original clubs on the face of the Earth.

Berlin is calling and getting the new tech hub of Europe. If you are passionate about building great software, we’d love to talk with you. If you don't live in Berlin yet, we could help to fix that.
