Default Post Brexit, moving to Germany and employment, how does it work?

I have naive questions to get the ball rolling.

I want to move to Berlin, I am a software engineer, and I don't speak German.

From speaking to Berliners in the tech industry, knowing German is not critical and English is acceptable for my profession.

Post Brexit, on a high level, what are the steps?

Other questions, do I need to have a job offer first before I move to Germany? If not, how long can I stay whilst l look for a job?

I have a UK passport

But I am also thinking of getting an American passport, I have a pathway to that, assuming I can keep my UK passport.

Only EU passport will carry benefit of living/working in Germany.
You can get US passport, if you dont mind US taxes and ban from most of banking institutions.

How many banks are open to letting a foreign person with a US passport open a German bank account? Any banks you can name would be great, I am looking at living in Germany for a minimum of 10 years, need to know the obstacles. thx

Best is to have a recommendation from a client of the bank you decide to go with or from your employer. Smaller or private banks tend to be more helpful than the big ones. Was my experience when I lived in Germany.
