What they do

Epidemic Sound licenses music and sound effects to creators and brands. It started in 2009. Its catalog has more than 55,000 tracks and 250,000 sound effects.

It is part of Epidemic Group.

What they value

• Build around AI, and do not layer it on top.
• Music made by real artists, with full transparency over where content comes from.
• Fair partnership with artists, with financial and creative support.
• Work in the same room: the company says that the best collaboration happens there.
• A startup mentality: serious about the work, not about themselves.
• People from different backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives.

What they look for

Most Postings ask for daily work with AI tools. Engineering Postings ask for experience with agentic tools (AI agents that write or run code) and for judgment about when to rely on them. Sales and customer success Postings ask for AI tools that automate account work and outreach.

Backend roles want Go or Python, SQL, and Google Cloud. They want engineers who own a service end to end, with Kubernetes, Helm, and Terraform. Some want enough TypeScript and React to change a shared frontend. One senior backend role asks for six years of experience. The VP role asks for 15 years, with five as a manager of managers. Data roles want BigQuery, dbt, SQL, and Python.

Customer success roles ask for four years of B2B experience in SaaS, tech, or media, and six years for senior roles. They want a record of renewals and account growth, and the use of customer usage data to lower churn risk. Salesforce or Planhat is a plus. The Lead Product Designer role wants a designer who prototypes in code and ships the interface with engineers.

About half of the Postings ask for clear communication, often with technical and non-technical people. Four Postings ask for strong English, and one calls English the corporate language.
