Full Stack Engineer

Downtown Music Publishing is looking for a driven individual to join us as a Full Stack Software Engineer to help build our next-generation music publishing platform from the ground up. Build a new platform from first principles — data model, API design, and infrastructure — rather than maintaining legacy systems, while making pragmatic decisions that hold up at production scale.Design and implement a schema-first GraphQL API (Apollo Server) over PostgreSQL, including multi-tenant data isolation (row-level security), type-safe query layers, and performance patterns like DataLoader batching.Develop React/TypeScript (Next.js) interfaces used by both internal teams and clients to manage catalogs, registrations, and data-quality workflows.Build AI-native features as a core part of the product: AI-assisted data ingestion and matching, agent-accessible APIs via Model Context Protocol (MCP), and LLM-powered workflows using the Vercel AI SDK and Amazon Bedrock.Work in an AI-augmented, spec-driven development workflow — architecture specs, agent-assisted implementation, and rigorous automated review are how the team ships, not an experiment on the side.Own components end-to-end: design, implementation, integration testing against real databases, deployment (AWS CDK), and operational responsibility.Model and implement music publishing domain logic — works, writers, shares, agreements, and society registration formats (e.g., CWR) — with the precision that financial and rights data demands. Bachelor's degree in computer science, software development, or equivalent experience.5+ years of experience developing web-based software solutions.Experience architecting new systems or services from scratch — you're comfortable with ambiguity, and you document the "why" behind decisions, not just the "what. "Strong proficiency in TypeScript and Node.js across the full stack.Solid relational database fundamentals: schema design, migrations, transactions, and query performance in PostgreSQL (or similar).Experience with both traditional software development lifecycle and agentic software development — including spec-driven development, AI-augmented engineering, and working effectively with coding agents.Interest in the music industry — prior experience with rights management, royalties, or metadata standards (CWR, DDEX, ISWC/ISRC) is a plus, not a requirement. Work at the frontier of AI-assisted engineering — agentic workflows are central to how this team builds software.Ample opportunities to work with leaders and employees across our business.Work in a collaborative environment full of mission-driven, innovative, and passionate people.Be a part of an open, welcoming, and inclusive culture.Rich benefit program (Medical, Dental, Vision), Life Insurance, 401k (with match).Free CitiBike Membership (NYC Only).Paid Volunteer Hours.
