Senior Software Engineer

SongtradrLondon, United Kingdom8 months ago

We’re seeking a Senior Software Engineer to become a part of the Supply Chain team at the Songtradr Group. The team develops our global-leading B2B music Platform-as-a-Service that enables companies and brands to connect to its global music catalogue and rights management system to launch and manage unique and engaging music experiences.

You’ll be joining an enthusiastic technology team who enjoy what they do and operate with autonomy. Development teams deploy into production multiple times a day and are empowered to deploy as soon as automated tests pass. Techniques such as pair programming and test-driven development (TDD) are deeply embedded. We’re strong advocates of TDD and would only consider you for a position if you have a strong passion for it. We’re not perfect and not afraid to say so and we’re constantly striving to improve the way we work (utilising tools such as retrospectives, 1-2-1s and knowledge sharing). We have regular sessions sharing ideas, and discussing practices and technologies. We follow lean principles, using techniques such as Kanban to drive this, keeping stories small and value-driven. We operate iteratively, delivering features as we go, to ensure we are solving the right problem in a meaningful way.

We’re working at scale – our service-oriented API Platform is handling billions of requests per month and growing quickly. Our production systems run in AWS and Google Cloud using various languages, primarily Node.js and C#. We embrace Linux and cloud-native-style architectures. We have a strong DevOps culture and like to use externally managed services to allow us to focus on what makes our products great.

Main Job Duties

You’ll be joining our rights holder ingestion and media engineering team which specialises in delivering media via our client-facing API, the underlying services which power it and processing data sent to us by our suppliers. A typical day starts with a stand-up. You'll pair remotely with team members via video call. There will be regular check-ins with the team (such as retrospectives and knowledge-sharing events). You will also be coordinating with the product team (e.g. for requirements gathering, and slicing). The technology we currently use:

Node.js with some C# for older applications
Linux
GCP/AWS
Serverless (Google Cloud Run, AWS Lambda etc.)
Messages Queues (PubSub, SNS)
Relational Databases (SQL Server)
NoSQL & Object storage (GCS, AWS DocumentDB, S3)
Search (AWS Opensearch)
Containers (Docker, Docker Compose, ECS)
Infrastructure as Code (Terraform)
Observability (Datadog)
Scripting (Bash, Make)

Skills & Experience

Essential:

Experience and a strong desire to develop using TDD
Keen to partake in paired programming
Desire to build software in a lean and agile way
Experience in Node.js and at least one other language
Infrastructure as code experience (e.g. CloudFormation, Terraform)
Experience building highly available, high throughput, public-facing APIs

Desirable:

AWS or GCP experience
Docker & Linux experience
Some experience with a strongly typed language
Experience designing and implementing microservice architectures
Experience configuring CI/CD pipelines (e.g. GitHub Actions, TeamCity)
Experience owning products end-to-end, including managing how they operate in production
Scripting experience (e.g. Bash)
Observability, monitoring experience (e.g. DataDog)
Data engineering experience (e.g. SQL, NoSQL)
Understand & champion lean software development principles

Personal Attributes

You’re passionate about software development and understand that it involves a lot more than just writing code. To you, quality (both internal and external) matters.
You see it as your remit to understand our domain so we can all deliver as much value to the business as possible.
You care about the ways that you work and agree with our Tech Principles.
