The role

We’re looking for an experienced frontend engineer for the Product Experience and Music Experience teams at Soundtrack. The Product Experience team is responsible for our user facing touch points – mobile, desktop, and web apps. The Music Experience team is a new vertical team at Soundtrack responsible for our music features, like home, search, user created playlists and schedules, from UX/UI to databases and machine learning. As an engineer in either team you’ll be working on a wide range of user-centric projects together with other engineers, product owners, UI/UX designers, researchers, music experts and analysts.

  • A good communicator – you enjoy discussing different solutions and strategies for technical challenges
  • Agile – you feel comfortable in a dynamic environment where focus lies in what’s important here and now, with the ability to realize when it’s time to change the game plan and when to stick to it
