Senior Backend Developer

About Simpleshow
simpleshow started in 2008 as a media agency and has become the international market leader for the professional development of explainer videos. Using sophisticated storytelling methodology, the explanatory experts at simpleshow help make the increasingly complicated world understandable for everyone.

For the last 5 years, we have taken things one step further. Our young team of developers have created the web application , which allows users to create and customise an explanatory video, almost fully automatically, based on a text script. The tool is used worldwide by companies and private users to create videos. In order to relieve the user of as much work as possible when creating videos, we regularly implement new AI services from AWS or use our own developments, which are designed and developed together with a Berliner partner company. Usability and user acceptance studies are regularly conducted and a modern design concept is employed to ensure a user-friendly experience.
