Spreenauten GmbH is an IT driven specialized provider based in Berlin. Besides designing wireless cells, renting and selling software, we also develop hardware and software. 

Over the years, we have accumulated a number of projects that we have developed to MVP status, but then did not finish.

We now want to tackle these and are looking for a capable interim lead developer or IT Company to do so . "Interim" because we want to look at it on a project first. If it goes well, we would be very happy to have an ongoing collaboration.

Tech Stack:
- Python (aiohttp, asyncio or similar).
- React.JS (or related experience - we have frontend developers))
- aiohttp or 
- ReactJs (or related experience)
- Docker (docker compose)
- AWS experience
- Plus will be some experience with Kubernetes
Very good analytical skills

Tasks are always similar for all projects:

- Understand the code 
- Improve / refactor the code / documentation / test coverage / security
- Completing the backend
- Coordination with our frontend developers
- Communication with our PO(s)
- Code review
- Supporting the launch of the project

The first project is about a navigation app. This project is very clear and is well suited as a test project for an ongoing collaboration. My estimate is that there are about 80 hours of backend & lead work in it until the MVP. Spread over the two months that would be about 20h a week.

In general, full time is also possible. There is enough to do.

Important for us are:

- very good 360° understanding of App Development
- very good code skills, we work quality-driven and our technical debts 
  are painful, we have to fix them.
- good communication
- Availability
- Hands On mentality & Lead Experience

We offer a pleasant working environment and a professional development environment. The tools we use are Jira, Confluence, Mattermost (won out over Slack for us), Gitlab, Docker, orchestrated via Kubernetes. 

We host on AWS, but also have our own colocation - including a strong GPU server.
