What we do....
We want to make music fun again. No more wading through the Internet trying to find out what the new hits are, or to listen to an old favorite song again – and no more managing thousands of MP3s you stopped listening to years ago. Instead we’re putting together the best ways to discover, collect, share and play music in one, great product that’s available on your computer, your phone and in your home.
Who we are....
Rdio was founded in 2009 by Janus Friis with Niklas Zennström, the founders of Skype.
We’re based in Potrero Hill area of San Francisco. We’re funded by Atomico, as well as Janus Friis, Mangrove Capital Partners and Skype.
What’s it like here....
We’re lean and mean. Fewer than 70 people create and maintain Rdio on the web and desktop, Sonos, iPhone, Android, B! lackBerry and Windows Phone 7 (and even more platforms are coming). That means you'll spend your time on apps and features that are carefully designed to create lasting value for our customers, and not in endless meetings.
We’re friendly and relaxed. We like to avoid frantic code-writing and design sprints by planning better and more carefully choosing what to work on. While the occasional all-nighter has happened, they're the exception, not the rule.
We’re multi-lingual. Python, Java, Objective-C, C#, JavaScript and Erlang are some of the dialects spoken, but we really want to use whatever suits the job, not make the job suit the language. On the web, audio streaming logic is handled by Flash, while the front-end is all HTML/CSS. On other platforms, we do native front-ends and audio.
The kind of stuff you’ll be doing....
- Implement new features for! the Rdio web app
- Interact with product designer! s to make sure all user interactions are designed and implemented correctly
- Fix bugs as they are found
- Test features across all major browsers (except IE6!)
- Identify and fix performance issues.
The kind of experience we expect....
- Extensive JavaScript experience
- Experience with HTML/CSS
- Knowledge of native DOM APIs
- Has an opinion on innerHTML vs. document fragments
- Has an opinion on Crockford's JS style
- Understands non-intrusive JS techniques and their pros and cons
- Knowledgeable on the latest web technologies and how they may be used effectively
- Experience developing complex software with many moving parts
- Obsessive about quality
- Pragmatic
- Having developed your own client side framework or library is a big plus
We’re a startup, but our salaries are all grown-up. In addition, we have comprehensive health coverage (medical and dental), a 401k, and you will receive equity so you’re in a good position to enjoy Rdio’s future successes.
