About Gotobeat

Gotobeat uses AI-driven, event-driven software to make live music fairer and more profitable for everyone involved. We help emerging artists earn more, venues fill more seats, and promoters spend more time building real relationships—not wrestling with admin. Our platform spans planning, promotion and post-show follow-up, backed by an AWS serverless stack, data pipelines in Python, and cutting-edge LLM tooling.

Why this role matters

This is the side of Gotobeat that fans actually touch: finding a gig, falling for it, and buying the ticket in under a minute on a phone at a bus stop. We are hiring one engineer to lead that product category and grow it from zero to millions of users. It is real ownership—you decide what to build, you ship it, and you own the number that comes back. We expect to grow very fast over the next twelve months, so the product you shape now is the product millions of fans will meet.

What you'll do

• 35% Own the fan journey end to end—discovery, gig pages, cart and Stripe checkout—on our Remix/React front-end.
• 20% Take a brand-new consumer product category from zero to millions of fans: you set the roadmap, you ship weekly, you report the metric.
• 15% Make mobile web genuinely fast. Core Web Vitals, SSR streaming, image and font budgets, and a checkout that survives a patchy 4G queue outside the venue.
• 15% Build the serverless backend behind it (Lambda, EventBridge, DynamoDB/ElectroDB, Stripe webhooks, ticket inventory) so the front-end never lies about availability.
• 10% Run experiments and read the funnel—conversion, drop-off, attribution—and turn what you learn into the next release.
• 5% Raise the bar on testing (Jest/Playwright), accessibility and craft.

You'll be successful here if you have

• Expert computer-science fundamentals and 5+ years shipping consumer-facing product to a real, paying audience.
• A track record of building a product autonomously—you have taken something from an empty repo to users without a committee telling you what the next ticket was.
• Deep TypeScript and React skills, with Remix, Next.js or an equivalent SSR framework in production.
• Real mobile web performance experience: you have measured LCP and INP, and you have moved them.
• Comfort owning the backend your feature needs—AWS serverless, or an equivalent cloud runtime.
• Payments or checkout experience, and the instinct to treat money paths as the place where correctness beats cleverness.
• Genuine passion for the music industry. You go to gigs, you argue about line-ups, and you have opinions about how tickets should be sold.
• Product judgement: you care about the empty state, the error copy and the second tap.

Nice to have

• You work now, or worked recently, at a music company—DICE, Spotify, Bandsintown or similar. This is a strong signal for us.
• Growth or conversion-rate optimisation experience on a high-traffic consumer funnel.
• Wallet and express-payment integrations (Apple Pay, Google Pay, Stripe Payment Element).
• Design skills, or the confidence to work straight from Figma and finish the last 10%.

How we work

• Remote-first culture with quarterly in-person hack weeks in London.
• Small, senior team—no heavy management layers, lots of autonomy.
• One-week sprints, async-friendly comms, and fast decision cycles.
• We value clean code, continuous learning, and doing right by artists.

Benefits

• Competitive base salary + meaningful equity.
• Fully remote, with the hours that suit you.
• Infinite paid holiday (+ local public holidays).
• Complimentary gig tickets and backstage passes to all Gotobeat shows.

Hiring process

1. Intro chat (30 min) – culture & role fit.
2. Technical deep dive (90 min) – architecture discussion & live pairing on a realistic problem (no LeetCode).
3. Founders' chat (30 min) – vision, values, and any remaining questions.

Total time from first call to offer: ~2 weeks.
