Front End Engineer - Help Musicians Thrive Through Beautiful Interfaces 
We're a music publisher on a mission to empower musicians and creators. We believe technology should serve artistry, not complicate it. We're looking for a Front-End Engineer who shares our passion for music and wants to craft interfaces that make a real difference to artists' lives.  

About You 
You're a passionate Front-End Engineer who cares as much about the people using your interfaces as the code behind them. You've been developing your CSS and React skills and are excited to grow them further while creating beautiful, accessible web experiences. You believe in building responsive, performant interfaces that just work - so musicians can focus on what they do best: creating music. 

Essential Experience 

• Solid React fundamentals (components, hooks, state management) 

• Strong CSS skills with experience in modern approaches (Tailwind, SASS, or similar) 

• Good working knowledge of JavaScript/TypeScript and ES6+ features 

• Understanding of responsive design principles and mobile-first development 

• Interest in accessibility and creating inclusive user experiences 

• Enthusiasm for learning performance optimisation techniques 

• Ability to work collaboratively with Product and Engineering teams 

• Bonus points for experience with Full Stack or Back End technology and practices 

What Sets You Apart 

• You're driven by empathy for end users 

• You're eager to learn best practices and grow your skills through mentorship 

• You balance attention to detail with getting things done 

• You love getting the chance to roll up your sleeves and contribute beyond just the Front End when needed 

• You're excited about working in a diverse, inclusive environment to serve music and the creative industries 

  
Join us in building the user experiences that help musicians succeed. Together, we'll create interfaces that are as beautiful and inspiring as the music they support.

• Enthusiasm for learning new technologies and solving problems
• Good communication skills and ability to work effectively in a team
• Some experience with web development and cloud technologies (through coursework, internships, or personal projects)
• Genuine interest in creating positive change in the music industry

Nice to Have
