Do you love solving complex problems and building products real people rely on every day?

This established company has spent 25 years helping tell some of the world’s most iconic stories. With a team of 140 and a deep commitment to quality, they’re looking for a Senior Frontend Developer to craft sophisticated client experiences within the music world.

You’re a thoughtful, solutions-driven engineer who cares about architecture, performance, scalability and long-term product impact. You don’t just close tickets, you take ownership, think systemically and value clean, usable, maintainable code.

Collaboration is second nature to you. You enjoy pairing, knowledge sharing and healthy technical debate. You’re curious about tooling, infrastructure and already exploring how AI can enhance your workflow.

The Role:

You’ll join a small, cross-functional team spanning product, design, research, engineering and operations. It’s a flat structure built on shared ownership and trust, with real influence over not just how things are built, but what gets built. People around you will push you to be your best and they love getting out for lunch together!

The roadmap focuses on meaningful workflow challenges, including:

* Intelligent search and discovery experiences
* Seamless, responsive user journeys
* Simplifying complex processes
* Ensuring performance and reliability at scale

With a front-end focus, you’ll work across the product and stack, with scope to deepen your knowledge of infrastructure and tooling.

Tech Stack:

* TypeScript / JavaScript
* React, Next.js
* Vercel, AWS Serverless (Lambda, API Gateway)
* SQL Server, Algolia
* TeamCity (CI/CD)

What You’ll Find:

* A thoughtful, craft-led engineering culture
* Time to make sound architectural decisions
* Close collaboration with product and design
* Genuine ownership and accountability
* A stable, commercially established business

This isn’t “move fast and break things.” It’s about building well, sustainably and responsibly, while working on complex, interesting problems.
