We’re looking for a Head of Development to join a growing music tech company in Stockholm and lead a small team of 4–5 developers. This is a hands-on leadership role where you’ll still spend real time coding, while owning technical decisions, planning and delivery and working closely with product and marketing to turn ideas into shipped features.
