About the role
As a Lead Full Stack Engineer in our Insights team, you will take technical ownership of the tools that help the music industry discover its next stars. You will lead a high-performing, multi-disciplinary squad (Frontend and Data Engineering) focused on our strategic B2B products: the Artist & Repertoire (A&R) Dashboard and Fan Insights.
What you'll do
- Own the end-to-end technical roadmap for the A&R and Fan Insights platforms. You will design scalable, secure systems capable of handling massive datasets with high performance.
- Act as the technical lead for a small, expert squad. You will lead by example through architectural clarity, rigorous peer reviews, and a focus on maintaining high execution momentum.
- Work as a peer to Product Managers and Designers to define requirements. You'll turn vague business "wants" into concrete technical "hows," ensuring the team builds the right things in the most efficient way.
- Ensure high technical standards across both Frontend and Data disciplines. While the team is highly capable, you are responsible for the overall technical health, consistency, and long-term sustainability of the codebase.
- Champion "AI-native" development – leveraging modern agentic tools (like Cursor or Claude Code) to multiply the team's impact and identifying high-value opportunities to deploy agentic capabilities directly to our users.
- Own the infrastructure and health of your domain. You'll manage deployment patterns, infrastructure as code (Terraform), and ensure we adhere to modern security standards.
What you'll need
- You have a track record of architecting and scaling robust backend systems and high-performance services. You are a generalist who can navigate complex application logic or resolve infrastructure bottlenecks with equal ease.
- Backend: Proficiency in Scala or Golang for building reliable services and a strong understanding of handling storage and querying of BigData (e.g., BigQuery, SQL).
- Frontend: Comfort with Next.js and React—enough to drive architectural decisions and ensure best practices.
- Infrastructure: Experience with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform) and container orchestration.
- Soft Skills & Leadership: You behave as a leader naturally. You can explain complex technical trade-offs to non-technical stakeholders and have the ambition to grow into a formal management role.
- You use modern agentic tools daily to accelerate your own work and are excited about the future of agentic software.
Nice to have
- Experience with AWS ECS

- Experience with Google Cloud Platform (GCP)
- Experience with large-scale data warehouses like BigQuery
