Careers at Jukedeck
Careers
Our Culture
We're a group of people passionate about both music and technology, and everything about our culture and where and how we work reflects this.
We talk, play and share music, and offer an environment in which musical creativity and technological innovation can go hand in hand. There's a piano in our office, which you'll usually find a member of the team playing - and we encourage people to pursue their own musical endeavours. We're always learning from each other thanks to our diverse musical and engineering backgrounds, and we think it's important that the development of the product is shaped by everyone on the team.
We have regular team outings, which often involve a gig of some kind, and a bunch of other perks. If you think you'd be a good fit, we'd love to hear from you.
