Senior Software Engineer

The Music team is the engine behind Epidemic Sound's music catalogue. We own the tools, pipelines, and platform that get music out to the right places in the right formats - and make sure artists get paid accurately along the way. We're one of the most data-intensive teams at Epidemic, and we are building the infrastructure that helps us invest smarter in the right music for our users.

This is a high-ownership role in a small, autonomous team that works closely with our music colleagues and moves fast. You will plan, build, and lead across a platform that sits at the heart of what Epidemic does, with real influence over technical direction and future projects.

Your key responsibilities include

Own and evolve the full data lifecycle across ingestion, processing, enrichment, and distribution, using dbt models to make our music catalogue accessible and usable across internal and external destinations.

Own features end-to-end: from technical design through deployment and iteration in production

Take responsibility for the quality, accessibility, and use of the team's data, keeping what we own trustworthy and well-documented

Structure complex problems into clean, maintainable components with strong instincts for API, event, and database design

Actively use AI agents in design, implementation, and testing, viewing them as collaborators and critically evaluating their output before shipping

Set technical direction and standards for your area, influencing how others build

Mentor other engineers through code reviews, pairing, and knowledge sharing

Collaborate with music teams and other stakeholders to translate domain needs into platform capabilities

Requirements

A well-rounded foundation in both software engineering and data engineering, moving comfortably between the two

Deep software engineering fundamentals: system design, APIs, testing, and CI/CD

Experience building and operating data platforms in a cloud environment

Agentic development mindset: you use AI agents actively in your own work, knowing where they add leverage and where human judgment is non-negotiable

A track record of leading technically in a team, owning outcomes and influencing how others build

Clear, direct communication across disciplines - you work well with music teams, product managers, and commercial stakeholders without relying on translation layers

It would also be music to our ears if you have

Experience with Go and/or Next.js - our primary stack, though we are happy to bring you up to speed

A background working with music or sound in some capacity, giving you a head start on understanding the team's scope

Experience with dbt
