Senior Full Stack Developer

We are seeking a Senior Full Stack Developer to help us redefine the music industry. The company has invented a new technology to produce on-demand vinyl records and built a web platform for music creators to create and sell their products worldwide via our store at zero cost. We are working with the leading record labels, streaming services, digital service providers, distributors, and iconic global artists who are keen to partner with us to build a global solution for physical media. But most of all, we would also like to give small artists and artists at the beginning of their careers frictionless access to offer vinyl and CD to their fans via our innovative solution and planned production/fulfilment centres in Europe, USA, and Asia.

The vinyl market has been growing on average more than 20% yearly over the last 16 years, and even CDs are growing for the first time in two decades. Over 30 million creators are releasing their music online today, and they are growing 30% a year. They represent the fastest-growing music segment. Most of them would like to have their music on vinyl or CD for their friends & family, and especially their fans. elasticStage will provide them with easy and affordable access via its unique and scalable on-demand tech.

We are looking for a talented and driven Senior Full Stack Developer to take end-to-end ownership of critical product and platform areas. You'll design, build, and scale systems that connect our digital storefronts directly to real-time, on-demand manufacturing, from creator uploads through automated fulfilment and logistics. Expect meaningful technical autonomy, a say in architecture and direction, and the chance to mentor other engineers while shipping high-impact features.

You'll work across a modern stack, PHP (Laravel or Symfony) with PHP 8, TypeScript/JavaScript with Vue 3 (or React), Docker, and AWS (ECS/Lambda, S3, CloudFront; plus ElastiCache and Elasticsearch/OpenSearch) to deliver fast, reliable experiences for both customers and internal operations.

If you enjoy owning roadmap slices, raising the bar on performance and reliability, and collaborating closely with product, audio/robotics, and operations, this role gives you the scope and leverage to do your best work.
