HOW WE WORK

We create products in cross-functional teams composed of Engineering, Product Management, Design and Data and led by an Engineering Manager.

Our teams are naturally working in a distributed manner since we have offices in several cities in the world and they follow the “you build it, you run it” principle. We own our success, and learn from our failures. Each team has its own mission and decides how to best achieve it. You will know where to go, and will decide how to get there within the team.

WHAT WOULD YOU BE DOING

We work in cross-functional (product, engineering, data, design) product teams that own the end to end outcome, objective and metrics of the product. You’ll be working on Utopia products built on the Utopia big data platform. We work full-stack including the product infrastructure and user experience.

You are a passionate and skilled frontend developer that already has several years of experience.
Strong experience working with technologies like JavaScript/HTML/CSS.
Experience of working with JavaScript frameworks such as React and UI libraries including Tailwind and Material-UI.

WELCOME TO UTOPIA Music is incredible. It can excite hundreds, and unite thousands. But as an industry, it has been slow, complicated, and disparate. While the tech world has moved into the future, the music industry continues to be shaped by inefficient systems of the past. At Utopia we believe there is a better way. Which is why today we are setting out to transform the entire industry; creating new revenue streams, consolidating the data and decluttering the admin. Unlocking the industry’s full potential by unifying it all in one truly holistic space. Some might call that a Utopia. Funnily enough, so do we. Welcome to Utopia. Where music lives. WHAT UTOPIANS DO The open secret is that the music industry is struggling with the very basics of music accounting: What was played, when and where? Who should get paid and how much? Utopia Music is bridging the data gap by connecting global consumption, accurate metadata, and fast payments to an industry-wide trust platform. Our goal is to unlock creative value and enable Fair Pay For Every Play to make a better world for Music. The solutions we offer do not threaten to usurp the role of industry incumbents - it is about bringing transparency in the industry and supporting efficient royalty collection for all. Utopia exists for the love of music. A deep rooted belief that success in innovating an entire industry can only be achieved by looking holistically at the music industry value chain. By leveraging modern technologies we are developing a new music ecosystem. We want to help everyone from PROs to Publishers, Artists to A&R by creating new revenue streams, consolidating data and decluttering the admin. Founded in 2016 with the goal of creating a better world for music, we are an ever growing team that will make this happen. Distributed across Switzerland, UK, Sweden, Finland, USA, Spain, Belgium & Austria and with more locations to come soon we are all focused on one common goal: to create a new industry standard for everyone. WE ARE HIRING, WANNA TO JOIN US? We are always looking for talent. Whether your passion is technology, marketing, business development, people & culture or some cool thing you are really good at, we would love to hear from you. All we ask is that you share our vision of making the music industry a better place and our passion for music, tech + people and inclusive values.
