About the Team
We’re a small team of builders passionate about creating a world where people are brought together through learning music, celebrating work-in-progress, and sharing moments in the artistic journey.
We're a diverse and geographically distributed team that cares deeply about building a workforce and culture that is inclusive and equitable for people of all backgrounds and experiences. We particularly encourage people from communities that tend to be underrepresented to apply, including women, people of color, and LGBTQ people.
We also want you to know that you can be a great candidate even if you don't perfectly fit the mold we describe below and you can have important skills we haven't even thought of yet. If that's you, don't hesitate to reach out and tell us about yourself.
Your Values
