Python Developer

Python developer with a strong passion for music?

That's what BMAT Music Innovators is looking for.

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.

• Our stack
• Backend: Python3 and Fast API
• Data Layer: Postgre SQL (via SQLAlchemy), Mongo DB (via Py Mongo), and Elasticsearch.
• Dev Ops & CI/CD: Bitbucket Pipelines.
• Deployment: Containerised applications using Docker.
• Cloud: Infrastructure hosted on AWS.

Who the FAQ are BMATBMAT 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 250 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.
