Python Developer

Senior Backend Developer Python & Data - Full Remote

This opportunity is particularly interesting for Python developers with a strong passion for music.

Even more so if you're based in Barcelona and enjoy the flexibility of remote work while having the option to meet your colleagues in person. However, being based anywhere in Spain or Italy is also perfectly fine.

That said, experience with Python is required. We're not looking for someone just starting out.

You'll be joining our Rights & Royalties team, whose mission is to centralize all the services needed for processing and distributing music royalties worldwide. This includes a great mix of data pipelines and back-end applications.

Previous experience in the music business is a plus. A strong belief that music can save the world is a must.

BMAT started in 2005 when a group of engineers with a passion for music decided to spin off from an audio research lab in Barcelona. We're now over 160 people, spread across Barcelona, Buenos Aires, Lima, Rio de Janeiro, London, Paris, New Jersey, Oslo, LA, Singapore, Tokyo, Manila, Bangkok, and Lagos.

We're a team of pretty decent people who enjoy working with each other. We're open-minded and well-traveled, coming from all parts of the world. We've got rappers, producers, cello players, DJs, and songwriters. The passion for music and the excitement for innovative technology have proven to make a good combination.

BMAT has grown as a company of companies. Within BMAT, there are a number of products and services that developed semi-autonomously for different players - Digital Service Providers, Publishers, and Collective Management Organisations.

Diverse perspectives drive innovation, and innovation is kind of our thing. Our open-minded and flexible culture organically fosters this diversity. We've learnt that we thrive on learning from each other, so we don't just welcome but actively hire a range of open-minded people from all walks of life. Our team is made up of people with different backgrounds, perspectives, orientations, abilities, musical tastes, dress sense, and time zones - but we all have one common goal: Making the music world a better place. With equal opportunities for everyone, BMAT is a pretty nice place to work.
