BackEnd Developer
About Linkfire
We’re a passionate team of music techies on a mission to make listening easier for fans, labels and artists. The music industry is transforming. Music consumption is fragmented and distributed across many different platforms and services. Physical sales are going down. Legal downloads and in particular streaming are gaining momentum. The transformation will continue and the years to come will be very interesting.
We want to contribute to the transformation by bringing music and fans closer. Not inside music services, but outside where fans and artists engage. Our approach is to index digital music across music services and provide smart links that routes fans directly to the music regardless of their location or which player or platform they use.
It’s complex. We make it simple.
Position
We have built a successful first version of a metadata-product in .NET that serves as a strong core database for our other products on the platform. On top of this platform, we have developed a rights-management application for the music industry in PHP. We are now in the process of building further products based on this platform as well as to scale it into a more sustainable system. We are looking for a strong .NET developer who can learn the PHP-backbone of the current application (and can extend on it if need be) and who will drive new development in C#/.NET.
We offer you a chance to extend your .NET background with new tasks and new learnings. You are passionate about finding solutions to non-standard challenges and feel motivated by discovering new solutions to our client's needs. C# and the .NET framework are your back-end weapon of choice, but you also have solid experience with PHP and are ideally no stranger to NoSQL.
We value code quality and working in a structured way when it comes to best practice, code testing, and deployment. You’ll get a chance to influence these standards and to work in an agile and structured environment as part of a full-stack team.
