Help build the platform behind the music industry
Songtradr is the world's largest B2B music technology company, providing end-to-end solutions across music licensing, rights management and direct-to-fan experiences. Through products including MassiveMusic and Bandcamp, Songtradr empowers music creators and enables global brands to connect with audiences through the power of music.
Behind this is a global platform operating at significant scale. Our systems process billions of requests every month, powering experiences for millions of music fans, independent artists and businesses worldwide.
Now we're bringing that engineering to Finland.
We're building a brand-new Center of Excellence in Helsinki, creating a rare opportunity to join one of its first engineering teams. You'll work across multiple products and platforms within the Songtradr portfolio – from enterprise music solutions to Bandcamp, one of the world's largest marketplaces for independent artists – while helping shape the ways of working and engineering culture of our new Helsinki organisation.
We're looking for a Staff Engineer with deep frontend expertise to join our new Helsinki engineering organisation.
This is a hands-on technical leadership role with impact beyond a single product or codebase. You'll contribute across our global platforms, helping us build and evolve high-performance, user-centered web applications while influencing how frontend engineering is done across teams.
You'll work closely with engineers, architects, product managers and UI/UX designers across our global organisation. You'll help turn complex product and technical challenges into pragmatic solutions, guide architectural decisions and raise the engineering bar around you.
Your work will include:
Designing and building high-quality frontend applications and experiences used by audiences around the world
Driving frontend architecture and technical direction across products and teams
Solving complex challenges around performance, scalability, accessibility and maintainability
Evolving established applications through pragmatic modernization and sound technical decision-making
Raising the engineering bar through hands-on development, mentoring and strong engineering practices
Partnering across engineering, product and design, while championing new ways of working – including AI-assisted development
Our frontend ecosystem continues to evolve, but today you'll work with technologies and practices such as:
TypeScript & JavaScript
Vue at Bandcamp
React across our broader platforms
Modern HTML, CSS & browser APIs
REST APIs
Component libraries & design systems
Unit, integration & end-to-end testing
Accessibility & WCAG
Linux & macOS development environments
AI-assisted software development
You don't need to have worked with every technology in our environment. Deep frontend engineering expertise and the ability to make sound technical decisions matter more to us than matching a checklist.
We're looking for someone with a strong track record of building and evolving production-grade web applications and influencing engineering beyond their own individual contributions.
Ideally, you'll bring:
Extensive experience building and evolving production-grade web applications
Deep frontend expertise with TypeScript and modern frameworks such as Vue or React
Strong understanding of frontend architecture, performance, accessibility and maintainability
Experience making and driving technical decisions across complex products or multiple teams
A track record of modernizing established codebases while balancing long-term direction with pragmatic delivery
The ability to influence, mentor and raise engineering standards without relying on formal authority
A strong quality mindset, including automated testing and modern software development practices
Hands-on experience with AI-assisted development and curiosity about how AI can improve engineering workflows
Strong communication and collaboration skills in an English-speaking, global engineering organisation
We don't expect you to tick every box. We're much more interested in strong engineering judgement, technical depth and the impact you've had on the teams and systems around you than a perfect match with every technology in our stack.
We're growing our engineering organisation in Helsinki, creating a rare opportunity to join at an early stage while working on established products at global scale.
As one of our early Staff-level engineering hires, you'll have the opportunity to influence not only the technology you work on, but how our Helsinki engineering organisation develops: the standards we set, how teams collaborate and how we approach engineering challenges as we grow.
Our new office opens in September 2026 in Vallila, and we'll work in a flexible hybrid model where the team comes together a few days each week.
Salary: €6250-7900 per month, depending on experience
Equity: RSUs – real upside as the company continues to grow
Flexible hybrid working from our brand-new Helsinki office in Vallila
Growth: 15 hours per month dedicated to learning and professional development
