Senior Backend Ruby Developer

Our client worked behind the scenes for many years with artists, managers, booking agencies and touring production teams. They’ve seen up close what it takes to connect an artist with an audience and create that powerful magic moment. There are many people around the artist working very hard to make this possible, but almost nobody has the time to really focus on what they do best.

We believe that an artist should stay in control of his/her own business but have full focus on being creative. A manager should be working on the artist’s career and future instead of dealing with the back-office hassle. And the booking agent should only have to focus on connecting the artist with fans in venues and festivals around the world.

That’s why our client created a powerful online back office solution that empowers the artist and his team and ensures that everyone can focus on what they do best.

The organisation works with some of the leading artists in music, theatre and entertainment. Their drive to excel in offering a state-of-the-art backoffice solution is to unchain creative powers from administrative shit and organisational hassle.
