Backend Engineer
Company: Halbestunde GmbH
Location: remote
Employment type: full-time
Salary range: 2500-4000 EUR/month for full time + share options
About us: we are a young company that closed its seed funding round in early 2021. We’re building an assistant app for music students and those who practice piano on their own. 
The App identifies the notes from a smartphone's camera or image/pdf file and creates a lesson for users to listen to the music and practice. Users can set the tempo, listen to the right or the left hand and get feedback to improve their piano playing skills. 

You will be the first dedicated backend engineer, so this is an opportunity to grow with the company and to define the tech stack behind our backend infrastructure. You will collaborate a lot with iOS/Android developers, with Machine Learning engineers to productionize our unique AI solutions and with other stakeholders to support scaling of our product to more users and countries. 

Requirements: 
Experience with serverless architectures and AWS is required as our current backend is a SAM solution hosted on AWS. 
We expect a high level of self-organization and accountability. As a first full time backend engineer, you will drive the backend development efforts in the company. Having a founder mindset is desired: You’ll be dealing with uncertainty in a highly dynamic environment, but you are passionate about the product and would like to deliver the best customer experience.

Language: English is a must. Russian is a plus, but not required.
