App Engineer (Music Experience)

About us

Soundtrack is a B2B scale-up company providing music streaming services to more than 80,000 businesses in over 70 countries, from the café round the corner to bigger brands like Joe & The Juice, Toni & Guy and TAG Heuer.

The company consists of 90+ talented, motivated and humble employees. We believe in product-led growth, where the product is the primary driver of customer acquisition, conversion and expansion. Our headquarters are located in central Stockholm (Odenplan).

The role

As an app engineer in the Music Experience team, you’ll be working on a wide range of user-centric projects together with other engineers, product owners, UI/UX designers, machine learning experts, researchers, music experts and analysts.

Music is the core of Soundtrack’s product. The Music Experience team is a vertical team that is dedicated to ownership and development of all music features, like music onboarding, home, search, stations, user created playlists, schedules and artist/album/playlist detail pages. The team owns the features end to end, from UX/UI to APIs, databases, and machine learning.

Your primary focus will be to work on new features and continuous improvements for our apps built on React Native (with TypeScript). We are a data driven team and will continuously iterate based on insights, A/B testing and qualitative user feedback. Ideas can come from anyone, data is the final judge.
