Where is the company based and does it allow for remote work?

Are non-US / non-EU candidates eligible?

Does this job come with a visa-sponsorship?

I also noticed that this job requires fluency in german on the onsite listing.

Sonnen GmbH in Germany is based in Wildpoldsried and Berlin. The developer however will be working from our Berlin office only.

Yes, we a open to non-EU candidates and yes we do sponsor. But of course, having someone who is already based in Berlin/Germany would be our preference.

Ideally the candidate is fluent in German but we have many devs who only speak English so German skills are not a must have.
