Backend Developer
We are looking for a Backend Developer to join the Audio.com team and take full ownership of meaningful backend projects in a product that's scaling fast.
This is a hands-on engineering role with real scope. You'll build new features, optimise core systems like search and recommendations, and run projects end-to-end — from requirement analysis through deployment and post-launch monitoring. You'll work closely with Product, Data, Design, and QA, write code that holds up at production scale, and be expected to bring the same AI-first mindset the rest of the team operates with.
What is in it for you?
- Direct impact — your work ships to real users and connects directly to revenue metrics the whole company tracks.
- End-to-end ownership — you run the full lifecycle of your projects, not just one slice of it.
- AI-first team — we're actively integrating AI and automation into our workflows and expect you to bring the same mindset.
We are actively integrating AI and automation into all areas of the business and expect candidates with a mindset focused on improving efficiency and delivering a better experience.
