Job description

You would join one of our cross-functional product teams dedicated to solving a problem and delivering outcome within one of our product areas. As a senior software engineer you would support and mentor junior team members in finding the right solutions and system designs. You would also contribute to, and sometimes lead, cross-team initiatives to evolve shared components and platform architecture.

You can expect to:

• Contribute to all stages of the product life-cycle: Design, implementation, testing, releasing and maintenance.
• Work in a lightweight agile process where we regularly evaluate how we work and try to improve.
• Collaborate constantly: We’re big believers in teamwork and the value of practices like careful code reviews, pair (or mob) programming etc
• Learn a ton of new things: Be it through hack-days, courses, conferences or tech-talks, we emphasize learning and we also expect you to share your knowledge with your colleagues.
• Have fun and take a lot of pride in what you and all of Epidemic Sound is doing.

This is a full-time position based at our HQ in Stockholm.

What are we looking for?

In order for you to thrive in this role, we believe that you:

• Have a great understanding of modern web architectures, system design, data structures and software engineering principles, and understand how to apply them to design scalable and robust solutions.
• Have been mentoring and supporting less experienced colleagues and engineering teams, particularly in reducing technical debt and complexity in applications
• Love teamwork
• Are passionate about building great products that people love, and you always make technology choices with this end-goal in mind
• Are principled but also pragmatic: You value best-practices but realize that all rules have exceptions.
• Experience working closely with business and product stakeholders, and thus a strong understanding of business and user requirements.
• Speak English with professional working proficiency (Swedish is not a requirement)

It would also be music to our ears if you have:

• Experience of one or more of the following: Python, Django, React & Redux, Elastic Search, RabbitMQ, Docker, Kubernetes, GCP ecosystem, Kotlin
• Worked with audio streaming and/or music library management
• Experience from e-commerce, online subscription and/or payment solutions
