Founding Full Stack Engineer

Founding Engineer

Syncopate is modernizing the music industry's back office. Read more in our blog post about what we're building and why it matters.

Note: As an engineer myself, I know the feeling of sifting through piles of startups that have either not achieved product-market fit, are beholden to VCs, or do not provide sufficient compensation. At Syncopate, we've been intentional about building a business that has strong product-market fit, complete independence, and concrete financial upside, all while aiming our sights at a high-impact moonshot goal. If you're a talented engineer who wants to get paid what you're worth to work on meaningful problems without the bureaucracy of a big company, read on.

What You'll Do

  • Leverage cutting-edge LLM technology to build AI-native products

  • Build data systems capable of ingesting trillions of rows of music data

  • Help design and manage our cloud infrastructure on AWS

  • Work with our design team to construct beautiful frontend experiences for our users

  • Own your work from design through implementation, testing and release

  • These responsibilities are just a starting place! We’re a small company, we don’t have rigid roles, and we have a lot to do — we can help you grow wherever your interests take you

Requirements

  • 3+ years of software engineering experience

  • Are ambitious and want to put in the work to build something you're truly proud of

  • Fluency in Typescript and the NodeJS ecosystem

  • Experience with an OLAP DBMS like Clickhouse

  • Experience with React

  • Experience with cloud-based DevOps workflows

You'll Thrive If You

  • Have a genuine interest in the music industry, a large part of this role will be understanding the nuances of a niche industry

  • Feel at home working with massive, complex 3rd party datasets

  • Have experience building production-ready AI-native applications that utilize LLMs for mission critical components, without losing reliability or accuracy

Life at Syncopate

Syncopate is a nimble, dynamic environment that offers a unique combination of great compensation, low bureaucracy, and high impact:

  • We offer high end compensation and significant opportunities for performance based bonuses

  • We're a very small team, which means our culture is still being formed. We all take pride in our work and we are all completely customer obsessed

  • So far, the team is entirely based in NYC, but if you're the right fit, being in NYC is not a requirement
