# Description
Boiler Room is the world’s leading community of underground music fans. We live-stream DJ sets and live gigs from music hubs such as London, Berlin, New York, Paris, LA and >60 other cities to music lovers all over the world. It started as a webcam taped to a warehouse wall in East London - in five years Boiler Room has grown to become the online home of underground music, and also a complex broadcasting and editorial platform in its own right.
You’ll be an essential part of our product team currently consisting of 3 developers and 2 designers. You should have strong opinions about how web development should be done in 2016, and you should be able to come up with and implement new ideas for consuming & sharing online music experiences. Going forward, we have some really exciting ideas around peer-to-peer audio and video streaming - interest and/or expertise in that area would definitely be a strong plus.
You'll be working in our river-side office in Wapping, East London, and you’ll of course be able to go to and invite your friends to the exclusive parties being live-streamed on the site.
