What is it like to work at Soundmap?

Fast-paced We routinely build new features in less than a week start-to-finish. Expect to ship code into production on your first day.
Small-and-scrappy We are a team of 3 working on Soundmap nonstop. We believe the best consumer products are built by small teams who can move mountains. You’ll get to play a key role in Soundmap’s trejactory.
Product-obsessed We are product people. Great product retains and grows itself. We obsess over the user experience until all the details are right. Everyone is expected to go the extra mile in everything they do.
Constantly-evolving We’re very early in our journey. This means we’re constantly shipping new features, taking feedback from our community, and iterating.
Ownership-focused You’ll be given the trust and responsibility to take ownership over what you build. Nearly everyone on our team would be building their own things if they weren’t working on Soundmap.

What are some of the challenges?

Uncharted territory No one else is doing what we are doing in music. We must continue to introduce brand new experiences.
Scaling rapidly We grew to 300k DAU in less than 6 months and will need to continue scaling rapidly.
Building something people love In order for Soundmap to be a household name, we have to stay laser-focused on building features and products our users love. Product wins all.
Has Soundmap raised money?
Yes! We’ve raised from some of the best investors in consumer, including A16Z Speedrun, Sequoia Scout Fund, Brooklyn Bridge Ventures, Gold House Ventures, Intonation Ventures, Untamed Ventures, the founder of NGL, etc. To date, Soundmap has raised around $2m and we are profitable.
