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. Experience with Python is required. We're not looking for someone just starting out. You'll be joining the team that manages the complete lifecycle of our core data assets—millions of audio files and their accompanying descriptive data (metadata). The work involves designing, building, and maintaining the systems for data ingestion, processing, quality control, and ensuring this content is reliably served to our company's various applications and client products.
