Job description

Too Lost is a music and technology company, providing SaaS solutions for independent music rights holders. Our distribution and publishing services deliver, monetize and protect songs across the globe for over 450,000+ musicians, record labels, studios, brands, investors, and platforms.
The Role
This New York based role reports to our CTO who is based in ReykjavĂ­k. We work hybrid and collaborate across timezones with our international development team.
Too Lost is a music distribution company building and operating systems that handle music delivery, reporting, payouts, and internal operational workflows. The company runs a data-heavy, transaction-heavy environment where reliability, correctness, and pragmatic engineering decisions matter.
The role is intended for an experienced engineer who can contribute independently, lead technical execution, and take ownership of refactoring and modernizing key services while continuing to ship product improvements.
  • Make an impact in a company supporting thousands of artists worldwide
  • Own mission-critical systems that power our core platform
  • Work hybrid from New York, with flexibility across timezones
  • Small, collaborative team with strong product focus
  • Competitive salary and benefits

What You'll Be Doing
  • Lead the technical execution of full stack development across internal tools and platform features
  • Contribute hands-on across backend and frontend development
  • Take ownership of refactoring and restructuring existing services and workflows
  • Drive improvements in architecture, maintainability, and development practices
  • Mentor developers and contribute to building a stronger engineering team in Reykjavik and New York
  • Collaborate across a distributed team and ensure smooth execution across time zones
  • Maintain high standards for performance, reliability, and security in production systems
  • Additional projects and responsibilities as assigned

What We're Looking For
  • Hybrid schedule out of our NYC office
  • 7+ years of professional software development experience
  • Can demonstrate strong hands-on full stack ability and prior technical leadership through real work (commercial or open-source)
  • Strong professional experience in full stack web development
  • Strong backend experience with modern server-side frameworks (Laravel experience is a plus, not a requirement)
  • Strong frontend experience with modern JS frameworks (Vue experience is a plus, not a requirement)
  • Solid understanding of relational databases, data modeling, and backend performance
  • Experience working in production systems where correctness and stability are important
  • Experience leading technical projects or guiding other developers
  • Ability to work independently, make sound technical decisions, and take ownership of outcomes

Additional Skills We'd Love
  • Experience refactoring or modernizing legacy systems while maintaining ongoing delivery
  • Experience working with financial, transactional, or payout-related systems
  • Experience designing APIs and internal services used across teams
  • Familiarity with background jobs, queues, and scalable system patterns
  • Experience working with distributed development teams

Why Work at Too Lost
We invest in our team with comprehensive benefits designed to support your health, growth, and creativity.
  • Insurance - Health coverage via Anthem, plus Dental, Vision, and Life Insurance
  • Wellness Packages - Up to $100/month toward gym memberships and wellness opportunities
  • Free Music Distribution - A free Too Lost account with unlimited music distribution, for life
  • 40+ Paid Days Off - Disconnect and recharge throughout the year with our extensive company holidays and vacation time
  • Events & Discounts - Company-sponsored events and partner discounts
  • 401(k) Plan - Participation in our available 401(k) plans with company matching

$130,000 - $140,000 a year
We believe in being upfront about compensation. The salary range listed is our anticipated range for this role, but where you land within it depends on your experience, skills, and what you bring to the table. We'll talk about compensation early in our process so we're all on the same page, and if there's a mismatch, we'd rather know sooner than later.
