We are looking for an experienced software engineer to join Feed Media Group to work hand-in-hand with our current engineering team, music curators, customer support, and product team using cutting edge technologies to develop new opportunities to add popular music to apps, connected fitness devices, and physical spaces. We are a small, tight-knit team of 7 engineers, so you will have the opportunity to apply yourself in all aspects of our services, including our music ingestion and delivery, analytics collection and reporting, and web services used by our clients and curation team.
At FMG, we believe the best candidates are eager communicators, learn quickly, are compassionate, collaborate well with others, and have a strong desire to see their work in action. We create space for high autonomy and nurture an environment that enables a healthy work-life balance. We are looking for a candidate who is comfortable owning the design, implementation, and optimization of backend systems and APIs, while also having the flexibility to collaborate closely with frontend teams and contribute to cross-functional projects as needed.
About Us
At Feed Media Group we are not your traditional B2B tech company - we offer a Unified Music System (UMS) that brings together all of the content, technology, and services that businesses need to deliver music experiences that engage their customers and drive music-led growth. We support brands of all sizes across health, fitness, retail, and more.
Our Stack
Hosted on AWS, our backend consists of a GraphQL API built on Node.js services that interact with MySQL, ElasticSearch, and S3. Our web frontend is written in React with TypeScript. We publish SDKs for iOS (Objective-C / Swift), Android (Kotlin), web (TypeScript), and React-Native SDKs (JavaScript).
Responsibilities
- Collaborate with the engineering team to design, implement, test, and document scalable backend systems that support our customers and internal teams.
- Build and maintain REST APIs that power our music streaming services and integrate seamlessly into customer applications.
- Design and optimize cloud-based architectures using AWS services, including DynamoDB, S3, Lambdas, and CloudWatch, to ensure high availability and performance.
- Implement authentication, authorization, and caching solutions to improve security and user experience.
- Use infrastructure-as-code tools like Terraform and container orchestration platforms like Kubernetes to manage and automate infrastructure.
- Contribute to DevOps efforts, including monitoring, logging, and alerting, to ensure the reliability and resilience of our services.
- Work end-to-end with data flow through the system, from capturing and processing real-time data to integrating with data warehouses and lakes for analytics.
- Own work end-to-end, from ideation to production, in a small, highly collaborative team environment.
Requirements
- You have 4+ years of professional experience in backend software engineering, ideally in a music or media related industry.
- You are a strong communicator and thrive in a fast, startup environment with high autonomy and accountability.
- You have experience in JavaScript/TypeScript with Node.js.
- You have deep knowledge of databases, including both relational (SQL-based) and non-relational (e.g., DynamoDB) systems.
- You have experience designing and maintaining REST APIs and backend systems that scale.
- You are proficient with AWS services, such as DynamoDB, S3, Lambda, CloudWatch, and more (bonus if you’ve deployed services using CI/CD and infrastructure-as-code tools like Terraform!).
- You have familiarity with DevOps practices, including monitoring, alerting, and logging in cloud-based environments.
- You have experience with caching mechanisms (e.g., Redis) and authentication/authorization standards (e.g., OAuth, JWT).
- You are comfortable working end-to-end with data pipelines, from ingestion to processing and integration with data warehouses or lakes.
