Founding Engineer

SonicCritic

About SonicCritic Streaming pays artists fractions of a penny. SonicCritic doesn’t. We’re a direct-to-fan music platform where independent artists keep 88% of net subscription revenue - real economics, not a rounding error. The MVP is live (web + iOS), we’re incorporated as a Delaware C-corp, and we’re raising a pre-seed round now. You’d be the first engineering hire, working directly with the founder. The founder built the current product solo. He’s an independent artist who lived the problem - uncredited work, opaque splits, streaming payouts that don’t cover rent - and turned it into a platform. You’d be joining to help him scale it. What you’ll do • Own the codebase alongside the founder: architecture decisions, code quality, shipping velocity • Build and harden core product surfaces - artist upload and payout flows, audio streaming and playback, subscription billing, discovery • Take the iOS app (Capacitor) and web app from MVP to production-grade • Design for scale on a lean infrastructure footprint (zero-egress storage architecture keeps our bandwidth costs at zero - help us keep it that way) • Set the engineering culture: testing, CI/CD, on-call, documentation - you write the playbook • Talk to artists and fans. Small team, no PM layer. You’ll see the impact of what you ship directly. Our stack React 18, TypeScript, Vite, Tailwind + shadcn/ui, TanStack Query on the front end. Supabase (Postgres, Auth, Edge Functions, Realtime, Storage) on the back end. Capacitor for iOS. Stripe for payments. Cloudflare R2 for audio storage. Spotify and Shazam API integrations. You don’t need to know all of it. You need to be able to pick any of it up fast. What we’re looking for • 3+ years shipping production software, with real full-stack range • Experience at an early-stage startup - ideally you’ve been employee #1–5 somewhere and know what that actually means • Comfort owning ambiguous problems end to end without a spec • Strong TypeScript/React; solid instincts with Postgres and serverless backends • Bonus: production experience with audio streaming, media pipelines, or real-time systems • Bonus: you’re a musician, or you care enough about music to be angry about how artists get paid What you get • Founding equity that reflects founding risk - standard 4-year vest, 1-year cliff • Direct partnership with the founder/CEO; your fingerprints on every technical decision • A live product with real users, not a slide deck • A mission with teeth: every subscriber we add puts $10.84/month directly into artists’ pockets How to apply Email a short note about the most interesting thing you’ve shipped - plus a link to code, a product, or anything you’ve built. If you’ve ever released music, mention that too. andrew@soniccritic.ai

Full Stack Engineer

Downtown Music

Downtown Music Publishing is looking for a driven individual to join us as a Full Stack Software Engineer to help build our next-generation music publishing platform from the ground up. You'll help in shaping the architecture, tooling, and engineering culture of a catalog management platform that powers musical work registration, rights tracking, and royalty collection for publishers worldwide. Currently seeking candidates local to the Nashville Area. What You'll Do Build a new platform from first principles — data model, API design, and infrastructure — rather than maintaining legacy systems, while making pragmatic decisions that hold up at production scale. Design and implement a schema-first GraphQL API (Apollo Server) over PostgreSQL, including multi-tenant data isolation (row-level security), type-safe query layers, and performance patterns like DataLoader batching. Develop React/TypeScript (Next.js) interfaces used by both internal teams and clients to manage catalogs, registrations, and data-quality workflows. Build AI-native features as a core part of the product: AI-assisted data ingestion and matching, agent-accessible APIs via Model Context Protocol (MCP), and LLM-powered workflows using the Vercel AI SDK and Amazon Bedrock. Work in an AI-augmented, spec-driven development workflow — architecture specs, agent-assisted implementation, and rigorous automated review are how the team ships, not an experiment on the side. Own components end-to-end: design, implementation, integration testing against real databases, deployment (AWS CDK), and operational responsibility. Model and implement music publishing domain logic — works, writers, shares, agreements, and society registration formats (e.g., CWR) — with the precision that financial and rights data demands. You are / have Bachelor's degree in computer science, software development, or equivalent experience. 5+ years of experience developing web-based software solutions. Experience architecting new systems or services from scratch — you're comfortable with ambiguity, and you document the "why" behind decisions, not just the "what." Strong proficiency in TypeScript and Node.js across the full stack. Solid relational database fundamentals: schema design, migrations, transactions, and query performance in PostgreSQL (or similar). Experience with both traditional software development lifecycle and agentic software development — including spec-driven development, AI-augmented engineering, and working effectively with coding agents. Interest in the music industry — prior experience with rights management, royalties, or metadata standards (CWR, DDEX, ISWC/ISRC) is a plus, not a requirement. Ideally, significant experience with some of the following technologies or similar tools:Backend: Node.js, GraphQL (Apollo Server, schema-first), PostgreSQL, etc. Frontend: React, Next.js, TypeScript, modern state management (e.g., Zustand) AI/Agents: Vercel AI SDK, SpecKit, CodeX, Amazon Bedrock, Model Context Protocol (MCP), LLM tool design. Infrastructure: AWS (including CDK), Docker, Terraform, GitHub Actions Testing: Vitest, Testcontainers (integration testing against real databases), Playwright Observability: Datadog, Sentry, structured logging Why you want to work here Work at the frontier of AI-assisted engineering — agentic workflows are central to how this team builds software. Ample opportunities to work with leaders and employees across our business. Work in a collaborative environment full of mission-driven, innovative, and passionate people. Be a part of an open, welcoming, and inclusive culture. Rich benefit program (Medical, Dental, Vision), Life Insurance, 401k (with match). Free CitiBike Membership (NYC Only). Paid Volunteer Hours. Ensuring a diverse and inclusive workplace where we learn from each other is core to Downtown's values. We welcome and encourage all applicants of different backgrounds, experiences, abilities and perspectives to apply. Downtown provides base salary ranges for all positions located in the United States at the time of posting. The hiring range for this position up to $150,000 annually. As a candidate for this position, your salary and related elements of compensation will be contingent upon various factors including, but not limited to, work experience, geographic location and relevant skills. Downtown is committed to providing a comprehensive market-competitive total rewards program for its employees which includes medical, dental, and vision, life insurance, 401(k) match and generous paid time off.

You'll be working alongside our other Senior Engineer as one of just two developers responsible for the entire Encore platform — from the customer-facing web app to our React Native mobile app, backend services, and infrastructure. You'll join at a pivotal moment: we're mid-way through launching Encore in the USA, evolving our core product, and rolling out a rebrand across the site. There's a lot of green-field, high-impact work on the table, alongside the day-to-day of keeping a live, revenue-generating marketplace running smoothly. What You'll Do Transform Encore into a more focused, intuitive self-serve platform for both musicians and customers, making it seamless and delightful to use Bring systems-level understanding and stewardship of strategy to the tech/product team (and across the company) Pastoral mentorship of another full-stack engineer Maintenance of our tech infrastructure (keeping downtime to a minimum, and fixing critical bugs/team requests in a prioritised and timely manner) Continuous formation/refinement of tech projects of strategic importance (e.g, tech debt, stack modernisation) Deliver on the release cadence for tech/product projects of strategic importance Improve Encore key features including messenger, job listings, search and musician admin panels Continued build-out of the USA platform — SEO landing pages, musician-side functionality, and bringing the US experience up to parity with the UK platform Keep technical output closely and visibly aligned with commercial priorities, and always identify the highest-impact work and the next bottleneck to remove Keep the platform reliable — minimising downtime and resolving critical bugs and team requests in a timely, well-prioritised way Work with bespoke payment integrations, including Stripe for the US market Reduce tech debt on an ongoing basis — including migrating toward a more formalised meta framework and moving our WordPress blog off Digital Ocean and onto Railway RequirementsWho you are: Lead-level engineering ownership in a production software environment Strong full-stack experience with TypeScript/JavaScript — comfortable across the stack rather than specialised in just one layer Experience with React for frontend and Node.js/Express for backend services Comfort moving between frontend web work and infrastructure/DevOps tasks (containers, cloud configuration) — at Encore, engineers regularly jump between the two Experience working with AI-assisted coding tools, such as Claude Code Skills, MCP servers and Routines A product and commercial mindset: the ability to weigh technical work against business impact, prioritise ruthlessly, and know what to cut to ship faster Strong communication skills — you'll work closely with product, design, non-technical stakeholders, and leadership on technical priorities across the company Comfort operating with autonomy as an individual contributor; we don't micro-manage, and you'll be trusted to make day-to-day technical decisions independently Experience with (or willingness to quickly get up to speed on) our stack: React Native/Expo, Railway, GitHub (incl. CI and end-to-end testing), Playwright, Vite/Vitest, Google Cloud, AWS, Twilio, and Stripe Eligible to work in the United Kingdom Nice to Have: TanStack Start/Router experience A passion for music — not essential, but the whole team shares a genuine love of it, and many of us are musicians or DJs ourselves Experience working in a two-sided marketplace business Experience navigating a codebase that has evolved and grown over several years, with an eye for where to simplify, unify, or replace legacy pieces Degree in Computer Science or Software Engineering BenefitsWhat Makes This Role Special Zero-to-one impact: Be at the forefront of solving some of the music industry's most intriguing challenges Real problem-solving: You'll work on complex, meaningful challenges that impact thousands of musicians and event organisers True ownership: Take the lead in shaping product direction and enjoy a high level of autonomy in your work Direct impact: Work in a small, dynamic team where your contributions directly affect our users' experiences
