Senior Backend Engineer (Core Services, APIs)

We’re building the next generation of music discovery and monetisation tools for music creators, and reshaping how artists connect and make great music. Our mission is huge: to power the future of music for the internet… and we’re starting with a revolutionary new social marketplace.

Our background

Colossal is founded by Paul Anthony , Founder of one of the world’s fastest growing fintech companies, Primer — and as is backed by Europe’s most influential investors.

As a hobbyist producer of 10+ years, Paul grew frustrated by archaic platforms geared towards music producers wanting to make a living off their works, and felt current offerings had not kept up with the pace of innovation across the creator economy.

🤫 Shh… we’re in stealth-mode

Fresh off a fundraise, we’re building out our founding team and are looking for enormously ambitious, hugely pragmatic, highly experienced forward-thinkers to join us on our journey. Our product is game-changing, and so must our team be.

We’re not just looking for music folks. If you’re passionate about building beautiful, bold products, and are always thinking about “what’s next?” then this could be the opportunity for you.

What you will be doing

You will be developing our core backend software architecture and APIs, working with front-end teams to deliver full-stack products across web and mobile. You will play a critical role in establishing our core software architecture and systems design, infrastructure and devops.

Requirements

Must have strong experience with infrastructure (AWS), observability, continuous integration and deployment, API design. Must have strong experience building highly scalable, performant web services. If tech stack is a major consideration for you, please do not apply.
