WELCOME TO UTOPIA

Utopia Music is hiring! Join us to be part of the Creator Services team as a key player, building and maintaining an exciting array of products. You will work, learn, play and grow together with experienced developers (and music enthusiasts) while creating a music ecosystem that works to the advantage of all participants.

At Utopia Creator Services, data engineers lay the groundwork for data analysis by building and managing scalable data pipelines and frameworks, designing data warehouses for internal business use, and leveraging big data technologies to transform raw and complex data into actionable insights for better business decision making.

Funnily enough, so do we. Welcome to Utopia. Where music lives.

WHAT UTOPIANS DO

We are building a better world for music with innovative big data technology that tracks online music sources and translates them into meaningful music consumption reports for royalty collection. The solution we’re building does not threaten to usurp the role of industry incumbents - it is about bringing transparency in the industry and supporting
efficient royalty collection.

Our mission: Fair Play for Every Play

We take a holistic approach to product creation from data to robust backend and customer experience.

You’ll work with the squad to model, fetch, and aggregate data, and make that data available for analysts and engineers to use across the products and features they build. You’ll keep your eye on operational excellence, as reliable and scalable data pipelines are invaluable.
