Team
Our team develops the MassiveMusic (formerly 7digital) platform. It is a global-leading, B2B platform-as-a-service that enables companies and brands to connect to a global music catalogue and rights management system to launch and manage unique and engaging music experiences. You'll be joining the API Team, which specialises in delivering client-facing services and the platform which powers them.
Job Description
You’ll be joining an enthusiastic engineering team who enjoy what they do and operate with autonomy and full end-to-end ownership. We’re working at scale – our service-oriented API Platform is handling billions of requests per month and growing quickly. You will primarily work with the team to architect, build, and maintain our API platform, ensuring the right people get access to the right music at the right time. This ranges from APIs, CDNs and databases, through to front-end tooling. A typical day starts with a stand-up. You'll pair remotely with team members via video call. The team deploys into production multiple times a day and are empowered to deploy as soon as automated tests pass. Techniques such as pair-programming and test-driven development (TDD) are deeply embedded. We’re strong advocates of TDD and would only consider you for a position if you have a strong passion for testing. We’re not perfect and not afraid to say so and we’re constantly striving to improve the way we work (utilising tools such as retrospectives, 1-2-1s and knowledge sharing). We have regular sessions sharing ideas, and discussing practices and technologies. You’ll also get personal development time every month. We follow lean principles, keeping stories small and value-driven. We operate iteratively, delivering features as we go, to ensure we are solving the right problem in the right way. You will also coordinate with the product team (e.g., for requirements gathering and slicing).
Remote Working
Whilst this is a remote-first role, the whole team meets in London multiple times throughout the year to work in person and socialise. This is typically once every two months; however, you must be able to accommodate it up to once a month and arrange and fund your own travel.
Main Job Duties
You're passionate about software development and understand that it involves a lot more than just writing code. You see it as your remit to understand our domain so we can all deliver as much value to the business as possible. To you, quality (both internal and external) matters.
