Lead Frontend Engineer
About the Role
SoundCloud is the world's leading audio platform, allowing everyone to share and discover unique content anywhere, anytime, on the web and on mobile. We're currently seeking a product engineer with a frontend focus to support us and help us grow here in Berlin.
You have a background in web development and JavaScript, experienced with React or other Javascript application architectures. Experience in developing for the server would be desirable, for example, with Ruby, NodeJS or Scala. You have a keen interest in creating polished user interfaces by working closely with designers, and producing high quality code with an emphasis on automated testing. You are interested in solving problems that you can connect to business value, and are excited by the opportunity to work with cutting-edge browser capabilities and new technologies such as ES2015+, Typescript and React Native.
More broadly, you are a smart, engaging person who cares about solving business problems across multiple code bases and can help our team keep a robust but sustainable pace. You have the maturity and skill that comes with practical, hands-on technical experience, you understand the importance of balancing technical debt with delivery, and you have the confidence to express your opinions but the humility to learn from your experience. You have pair-programmed or have some interest in trying it. A formal computer science degree is not necessary: we're interested in your skills and attitude, not your degree.
If this sounds like you, we’d love to talk to you.
Diversity at SoundCloud
SoundCloud is for everyone. Diversity and open expression are fundamental to our organization; they help us build a social platform and global community where anyone can create, discover, and share sounds. We acknowledge the challenges in our industry, and strive to develop an inclusive culture where everyone can contribute.
