Job Description:

Lickd is the world’s first and only chart music licensing platform that enables content creators to license chart music legally. Lickd is a new and innovative tech startup that aims to disrupt the music licensing industry for good by creating the world’s first pre-cleared, commercial music licensing solution for online video creators.

Before now, licensing music was for professionals and traditional media only. Production companies making tv shows and adverts hire a music supervisor and give them the length of the production to source and clear the music. Well, today, the whole world has a production company in their pocket and an incredibly generous commissioning editor in YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter or perhaps, in the case of a brand or an agency, your very own website. By working with major and independent labels and publishers alike, Lickd will provide a simple, mobile friendly, one-stop shop for you to search and license your favourite music directly into your video, wherever you want it to be broadcast online. It’s a win for video creators, a win for the music industry and a win for those of us that love to watch good content online and hear great music with it!

About the role:

We are looking for both senior and mid-level developers. The role will involve coding with PHP (Laravel and Symfony) and JavaScript (React, Node, TypeScript), use of Docker, and wide-ranging use of AWS.

We aren’t looking for expertise with specific frameworks or ways of working. It’s more important to be adaptable and willing to learn, and to ensure that the right tool is used for the job.

We are in the process of overhauling our legacy codebases, with many decisions still to be made around what direction we take them in.

A love of music is a bonus, as industry knowledge will be necessary (although this can be learned on the job). Knowledge of social video platforms, particularly YouTube is also helpful.
