• Work closely with engineers, Product Managers, Designers, and other partners to shape the technical direction and roadmap across Artist Success products, including the A&R Dashboard, Fan Insights, and related artist-facing experiences.

• Ensure high technical standards across frontend and backend disciplines. While the team is highly capable, you are responsible for contributing to the overall technical health, consistency, and long-term sustainability of the codebase
• Own the infrastructure and health of your domain. You'll manage deployment patterns, infrastructure as code using Terraform, and ensure we adhere to modern security standards
• Leverage agentic workflows and AI-assisted engineering as a force multiplier while keeping the needs, judgment, and experience of the people using and building our products at the center of the work

Experience and Background:

• 4-6+ years of experience with React and modern frontend development, with the ability to influence architectural decisions and drive best practices; experience with native iOS or Android applications is a plus
• Strong proficiency in GraphQL and TypeScript for building reliable APIs and services, with familiarity in Golang or Scala, and a strong understanding of storage, querying, and data-intensive systems such as BigQuery and SQL
• Strong capability in Infrastructure as Code, particularly Terraform, and container orchestration
• Ability to explain complex technical trade-offs to non-technical stakeholders and collaborate effectively across engineering, product, design, and data
• Demonstrated ability to leverage modern AI and agentic tools to improve quality and velocity, while applying sound judgment around when human expertise is essential and maintaining code quality, product standards, maintainability, and user experience
