• Product Innovation: Help define the mobile product roadmap by identifying opportunities to improve music discovery, creation, remixing, sharing, and overall user engagement.
• Rapid Development and Delivery: Work within a fast-paced engineering environment to prototype ideas, iterate quickly, and release improvements efficiently while maintaining high standards of reliability and performance.
• Independent Problem-Solving: Translate high-level product goals into actionable engineering solutions, make informed technical decisions, and take ownership of outcomes with minimal supervision.
• Continuous Improvement: Monitor the quality of the mobile experience, identify opportunities for technical and product enhancements, and contribute to the long-term scalability and maintainability of the application.

Requirements:

• Mobile Engineering Experience: Demonstrated experience building and shipping a well-designed, production-ready mobile application used by real customers, with clear examples of your contributions and ownership.
• iOS and Android Expertise: Strong mobile development capabilities across both iOS and Android, with experience in one or more relevant technologies, including React Native, Swift, or Kotlin, and the ability to work across platforms.
• Systems Thinking: A solid understanding of mobile architecture, backend integration, and the technical considerations involved in building reliable, scalable mobile applications.
• Exceptional Product Judgment: Strong product intuition and a clear understanding of what makes a mobile experience intuitive, engaging, visually appealing, and genuinely useful to its users.
• End-to-End Ownership: A highly self-directed approach, with the ability to turn ambiguous requirements into clear plans, deliver production-ready solutions, and take responsibility for the results.
• Technical Problem-Solving: Strong analytical and debugging skills, with the ability to make sound architectural decisions and balance development speed with quality and maintainability.
• Adaptability and Initiative: Comfortable working in a small, autonomous team with rapid development cycles, minimal bureaucracy, and the freedom to shape both technical implementation and product direction.
• Interest in Music and Creativity: A genuine interest in music, creative tools, or digital music experiences is a plus, particularly an intuitive understanding of how musicians and creators interact with music products.
• Open-Source Contributions: Contributions to open-source projects or a strong GitHub portfolio demonstrating technical skills and initiative are advantageous.
• Remote Collaboration: Ability to work effectively in a distributed environment and collaborate across time zones, with availability to operate within the GMT-5 to GMT+1 time-zone range.

Benefits:

• Remote-First Flexibility: Work remotely from Brazil or another eligible location, with the option to work from offices in London, New York, Warsaw, or Amsterdam.
• Professional Development: Receive an annual discretionary stipend to support learning, technical development, and career growth.
• Social Travel Opportunities: Access an annual discretionary stipend to meet colleagues in person and strengthen professional relationships.
• Annual Company Offsite: Participate in an annual company-wide gathering at an international destination, creating opportunities for collaboration and team building.
• Co-Working Stipend: Receive a monthly co-working allowance if you are not located near one of the main office hubs.
• High Ownership and Autonomy: Take responsibility for a core consumer product and have a direct influence on its technical architecture, user experience, and future direction.
• Fast-Paced Innovation: Work in a lean engineering environment where rapid experimentation, efficient development workflows, and quick releases help bring ideas to users faster.
• Meaningful Product Impact: Help shape how people discover, create, remix, and share music through innovative AI-powered technology.
• Career Growth: Explore opportunities to expand your responsibilities and influence beyond your immediate role within a dynamic, globally distributed team.
