We envisage strong automation featuring throughout, while still allowing us to sustain a personal touch with our clients that our operations were built on and is globally renowned for.

• Be able to design complex system architectures and develop REST APIs to communicate between services.
• Demonstrate good coding practices, documentation and version control.
• Have a knowledge of automation and be able to automate intricate processes.
• Have the aptitude to understand how processes/protocols interact, and not lose sight of the bigger picture.

• Display creative flair, and the attention to detail required to build attractive and practical interfaces.
• Are organised and time-efficient, with a head for scheduling and long term planning.
• Have some experience in project management and/or managing client expectations.

Records (Get Cape/Sam Duckworth, Jamie Lenman, La Dispute, Hell Is For Heroes), Death Waltz Recording Co (Halloween, Hellraiser, Evil Dead, Autopsy of Jane Doe), and countless other artists, bands, labels and distributors.
