Tamber is an AI-powered assistant built for musicians, designed to streamline workflows and enhance creativity by handling repetitive tasks. We believe AI should assist artists—not replace them—allowing musicians to focus on making music instead of getting lost in technical processes. Tamber helps with everything from songwriting and arrangement to production, DAW control, and intelligent music discovery.
Built by musicians, for musicians, Tamber lowers the barrier to entry for new artists while giving professionals the tools to work faster, stay inspired, and maintain complete creative control.
The Role
Tamber is hiring a Backend Engineer / Tech Lead to build and scale our backend infrastructure for AI-powered music tools. This is a hands-on engineering leadership role, where you’ll be responsible for backend architecture, cloud infrastructure, real-time systems, security, and ML model deployment.
As the first backend hire and technical leader, you’ll work directly with the Founder & CEO, the frontend engineer, and the AI/ML engineer to develop next-generation music production and discovery tools. You’ll set the foundation for Tamber’s backend, making key decisions on scalability, security, and system performance while delivering an exceptional experience for musicians.
This role is ideal for an experienced software engineer who thrives in a fast-moving startup environment, enjoys coding and technical leadership, and is passionate about building cutting-edge AI-powered music tools.
