Can I move to Germany from the US during COVID?

Accepted answer

If I accept the job the company will handle the work visa.

If the work permit is granted, the responsible authority will instruct the consulate to issue a D-Visa to take up residence.

With this D-Visa you will be allowed to board the plane and enter the Schengen Area. At present a direct entry to Germany is advised and preparations for a quarantine should be made.

Under normal circumstances, citizens of the US and some other countries can just fly to Germany and apply for their work permit / residence visa after arrival. With the covid-related travel restrictions, this is currently not possible, and you will have to apply for a German D visa while in the US. You should then be able to use that visa to enter Germany, though you should of course be prepared to comply with quarantine requirements upon arrival.
