The Company

We write software that facilitates the gathering, sorting and understanding of mobile data. Our primary focus is mobile music, working with customers across the industry to provide insights that leverage user data to improve user experience.

The Opportunity

We run a small, high performance development team in Dublin. The team is multidisciplinary with expertise across mobile and back-end. We hire primarily for aptitude and have a nice blend of junior and senior engineers of different experience levels.

As a software engineer at Soundwave you will write software used by top music industry companies across hundreds of millions of mobile devices. We deliver continuously so your impact can be immediate as well as wide-reaching.

  • Continuously deliver high-quality software across the technology stack.
  • Evolve the Soundwave technology stack while owning at least one core component.
  • Be determined to deliver the best work of your career so far.

The Candidate

We have a variety of personalities and skills at Soundwave but each engineer

  • Has incepted, shipped and supported several significant product features.
  • Has a familiarity with multiple modern technologies, being an expert in at least one.
  • Thrives on freedom to build and willingly accepts responsibility to deliver.
  • Communicates effectively, honestly and argues without ego.

The Technology

Soundwave writes for Android and iOS using typical tooling on both platforms. For back-end development we use a mix of Java 8 and Ruby. Our primary data store is MongoDB and we rely heavily on AWS products such as SQS and EC2. We value end-to-end ownership of software so each engineer writes, runs and supports her own. We are not dogmatic on process but subscribe to the Agile Manifesto in its original form.
