Help build the platform behind the music industry

Songtradr is the world's largest B2B music technology company, providing end-to-end solutions across music licensing, rights management and direct-to-fan experiences. Through businesses including MassiveMusic and Bandcamp, Songtradr empowers music creators and enables global brands to connect with audiences through the power of music.

Behind this is a global platform operating at significant scale. Our systems process billions of requests every month, creating interesting engineering challenges across web applications, backend services, distributed systems and cloud infrastructure.

Now we're bringing that engineering to Finland.

We're building a brand-new Center of Excellence in Helsinki, creating a rare opportunity to join one of its first engineering teams. You'll work across multiple products and platforms within the Songtradr portfolio – from enterprise music solutions to Bandcamp, one of the world's largest marketplaces for independent artists – while helping shape the ways of working and engineering culture of our new Helsinki organisation.

The role

We're building the Engineering team in Helsinki and looking for Software Engineers at both mid and senior levels.

Your strengths might be in frontend, backend or somewhere in between. You don't need to fit neatly into one box – we're interested in strong engineers with different technical backgrounds who enjoy learning, collaborating and solving meaningful problems.

You'll work across products and platforms within Songtradr's global portfolio, building software used by millions of music fans, independent artists and businesses around the world.

Depending on your background and the team you join, your work could include:

• Building and evolving production software across frontend applications, backend services and APIs
• Taking ownership from technical design through development, testing and delivery
• Solving challenges around performance, reliability, scalability and maintainability
• Improving and modernizing established applications and systems
• Collaborating with product, design and engineering colleagues across our global organisation
• Contributing to engineering practices and exploring how AI-assisted development can help us build and deliver better software

We're not looking for everyone to have the same skill set. Some of our engineers will be deeply focused on the frontend, others on backend systems, and some will be comfortable working across the stack.

Tech Stack

Our technology landscape varies across products and teams and continues to evolve as we grow. You won't be expected to work with everything below – depending on your background and the team you join, you could work with technologies such as:

Frontend

• TypeScript & JavaScript
• Vue
• React
• HTML, CSS & modern browser APIs
• Component libraries & design systems

Backend & Platform

• Node.js & TypeScript
• AWS & GCP
• REST APIs, microservices & event-driven architectures
• Distributed systems
• SQL, NoSQL & S3
• Docker & Linux
• Ruby & .NET in parts of our established platform - previous experience is a plus

Across our engineering teams

• Unit, integration & end-to-end testing
• CI/CD and modern engineering practices
• AI-assisted software development

What we're looking for

Ideally, you'll bring:

• Solid experience building and operating production software
• Strong expertise in frontend, backend or fullstack development
• Experience building maintainable applications, services and/or APIs
• A strong quality mindset and experience with automated testing and modern software development practices
• Curiosity to learn new technologies and solve problems beyond your immediate area of expertise
• The ability to take ownership, collaborate across disciplines and deliver software end to end
• Hands-on experience with AI-assisted development and an interest in how AI can improve engineering workflows
• Strong communication and collaboration skills in an English-speaking, global engineering organisation

Depending on your focus, you might additionally bring deeper experience in areas such as frontend frameworks and user experience, cloud-native backend development, distributed systems, databases or infrastructure.

We don't expect you to tick every box. We're looking for engineers who enjoy solving problems, taking ownership and building software that lasts. You might have a clear frontend or backend specialization, or you might enjoy moving across the stack.
