Senior Full Stack Engineer/Tech Lead at Utopia Music (Helsinki, Finland)

Utopia Music is arriving in Helsinki! Join us to be part of the landing team and a key player to build the new site.

We’re looking for passionate senior developers who care about their craft, are hungry to learn more and love music! We will put your unique strengths to work towards getting fair pay for every play - our mission.

WHAT UTOPIANS DO

We are building a better world for music with innovative big data technology that tracks online music sources and translates them into meaningful music consumption reports for royalty collection. The solution we’re building does not threaten to take over the role of industry incumbents - it is about bringing transparency in the industry and supporting efficient royalty collection.

WHAT YOUR ROLE WILL BE

We work in teams of 3-5 developers, a lead developer and an agile project manager who is a scrum master. You’ll be working on Utopia products built on the Utopia big data platform. We work full-stack including the product infrastructure and user experience. We take a holistic approach to product creation from data to robust backend and customer experience.

Depending on your experience and strengths, we will find the right role for you in the new team. We’re looking for a Lead Developer, as well as senior developers.
