What we’re looking for

  • Fluency in Python, Go, Rust, or a similar backend language, with strong API design skills

  • You bring positive, communicative energy to the team and make collaboration smooth, productive, and fun.

  • Bonus: a love for music, audio tech, or creative tools

  • Collaborate with mobile, frontend, design, and music teams to turn creative ideas into robust, scalable features

  • Help shape our backend architecture, engineering culture, and technical strategy as we scale from thousands to millions of creators

  • Ensure reliability, performance, and security while keeping development cycles fast and lightweight
