7digital Limited
About us
7digital is a platform product for the world’s music, hosting over 70 million tracks and processing thousands of new releases each week. As a B2B provider, we help our clients build innovative new music experiences, such as social video app Triller, home fitness challenger Apex Rides, and established streaming platforms like Soundtrack Your Brand.
Founded in 2004, 7digital has spent over a decade at the cutting edge of music innovation. It started by building digital download stores for music labels, and it’s own direct to consumer offering for DRM-free downloads. 7digital was involved in a reverse merger with UBC Media in 2014, becoming publicly traded on the AIM. 2019 proved to be a pivotal year, and the business committed to investing in scalable, repeatable Product - its B2B API platform for music. In 2020, 7digital raised £6M to go after the emerging home fitness and social media markets, planning to double revenue and scale responsibly, in-line with client growth.
About the role
We’re working at scale – our service-oriented API Platform is handling billions of requests per month and growing quickly. Recent growth in our commercial pipeline into new industries, such as social media & fitness, has led to increased use of our platform. We're hiring engineers into development & SRE roles to build new functionality and scale up our API, media delivery & content ingestion systems to meet the demand.
You’ll be joining an enthusiastic technology team of 15 people who enjoy what they do and operate with autonomy. Techniques such as pair programming, TDD, and continuous delivery are deeply embedded and we’re constantly striving to improve the way we work. Development teams deploy into production multiple times a day and are empowered to deploy as soon as automated tests complete. However, we’re not perfect and not afraid to say so. We have problems to solve, and we’re on a journey of continuous improvement.
We’re strong advocates of test-driven development, and would only consider you for a position if you have an interest in working with TDD. We value outcomes over output. We follow lean principles, building services based on measured impact rather than long lists of features. We use techniques such as kanban and user story mapping to ensure we deliver value at each step of the development process. We have regular sessions sharing ideas, discussing practices and technologies, and you’ll get two innovation days a month to investigate new technologies or ideas. We’re committed to an “inspect and adapt” philosophy.
