You're a developer who tries to see the bigger picture and can understand the user experience for both our instructors and students when using our platform.

About More Music Technologies and what we do:

You can independently create sandbox prototypes for our platform and refine these solutions while working with our development team. You are also comfortable discussing your ideas within the development team and open to challenges during code/solution reviews.
