Senior Full Stack Engineer

We are seeking a Senior Full Stack Engineer to help us redefine the music industry. We've invented a new technology to produce on-demand vinyl records and built a web platform for music creators to create and sell their products worldwide via our store at zero cost. We partner with leading record labels, streaming services, digital providers, distributors, and iconic global artists to build a global solution for physical media, but most importantly, we give small and emerging artists frictionless access to offer vinyl and CDs to their fans through our innovative solution and planned production/fulfilment centres in Europe, the USA, and Asia.

The vinyl market has grown over 20% yearly for the last 16 years, and CDs are growing again for the first time in two decades. By 2030, there will be nearly 200 million music creators worldwide (with AI accelerating this even further). Most would love to have their music on vinyl or CD for friends, family, and fans. Many would happily buy a record for around $30 if it's accessible without high costs or minimums, which our scalable on-demand tech makes possible. elasticStage delivers easy, affordable access to this booming opportunity.

This role is ideal for a Senior Full Stack Engineer who is PHP strong but comfortable working across the stack, including building APIs and backend services with Node.js. You’ll contribute to both customer-facing applications and the backend systems that power ordering, production, and fulfilment.

You’ll work as part of a cross-functional team, product managers, and operational teams to deliver reliable, scalable solutions that bridge digital experiences and real-world production.
