We’re the smart marketing platform for the creative and music industries. Our links route millions of fans across the globe to the content they love, in the apps they love.

Linkfire is the number #1 marketing tool for the creative and entertainment industry. We work with the biggest names in the music industry and route 60+ Million fans every month to the music they love. We are looking for a talented Python Engineer in Copenhagen with a passion for data and an ambition into data engineering.

You will join a company with roots and heart in music. We’re a team of 50+ developers, engineers, product managers, and more, drawn from every corner of the globe. The common denominator? Music—we live and breathe the stuff.

We’ve launched a completely new platform, extended our product offering and are opening up for new clients. With these moves, our user base and traffic will keep growing rapidly. Simultaneously we are partnering with an increasing amount of DSP’s and leading services in the industry, allowing for more relevant data insights for our clients. 

The Role:

To successfully fuel our data insights both internally and client-facing, we need the support of a talented Python Engineer who has worked with or is interested in working with data transport and processing. Our data pipeline is powered by Kafka, Cassandra, Docker, Kubernetes and AWS services.

In this role, you'll be working very hands-on. But you will also have the opportunity to define and impact your own work by actively contributing to our efforts in optimizing and improving our data architecture and business logic.

You will join one of our full-stack development teams and work closely with our Data Engineer, while also being a cooperation partner to our DevOps team. Here, you will contribute to the team’s goal of ensuring consistent data for the insights in our core platform.

You are perfect for this role if you are capable of developing and improving our data pipeline, but feel equally motivated by having a higher level of task variation - including ad-hoc and explorative data tasks.

Overview of technology in our data pipeline:

• Storage: Cassandra, Druid, Elasticsearch, SQL Server, MySQL, S3
• Messaging: AWS SQS, Kafka, Azure Service Bus
• Languages: Python, Bash
• Deployment: Docker, Kubernetes, and TeamCity

 Responsibilities:

• In collaboration with the full-stack team, take on the development of our data pipeline and support the team’s development of data insights, dashboards, and reports
• Working in pure Python with no web component.
• Write, maintain, optimize, refactor, and own robust, thoroughly tested code
• Test and document your code and fix any issues you find
• Monitor applications in production
• Collaborate with our DevOps team on building, maintaining and optimizing the infrastructure for the data pipeline.
• Actively contribute to the decision making for data pipeline and back-end implementations
• Stay updated on the field of python back-end development 

Abilities and Skills:

• 3+ years of Back-End development
• Fluent with Python
• Experience in one or more of the following: pandas, structlog, json, boto3, pyspark, Cassandra/Kafka/druid packages
• Experience in unit and integration testing
• Strong hands-on skills and excellent team player
• Comfortable with working in an international environment and fluent in English

Additionally:

• Knowledge of .NET is a strong asset
• Maintenance and deployment of code, e.g. Git, Docker, K8s, and TeamCity
• Experience working with distributed systems is a plus
• Being familiar with the Scrum framework is a plus

About Linkfire:

We’re a passionate team of music techies on a mission to make music consumption easier for fans, labels, and artists. The music industry is transforming constantly, the market is fragmented and split across many different platforms and services.

Physical sales are going down. Legal downloads and in particular streaming are gaining momentum.

The transformation will continue and the years to come will be very interesting. We want to contribute to the transformation by bringing music and fans closer. Not inside music services, but outside where fans and artists engage. Our approach is to index digital music across music services and provide smart links that route fans directly to the music regardless of their location or which player or platform they use. It’s complex.

We make it simple.

What we offer: 

• The opportunity to create new components and new products for the music industry and ensure over 60+ Million music fans worldwide get the best experience
• A truly international spirit, with over 20 different nationalities working together in our office
• An open, informal entrepreneurial start-up working environment
• Great responsibilities and career possibilities
