Senior Software Engineer Development in Test

Before TuneCore, artists needed a label to sell their music online. In 2006, we changed the game by partnering with digital stores and streaming platforms to enable any musician to sell their songs worldwide while keeping 100% of their sales revenue. Today, TuneCore is the leading music distribution service for independent artists worldwide. Headquartered in Brooklyn, NY, TuneCore is owned by Paris based, global digital music company Believe. A member of the 'Next 40' index, Believe is the first IPO of a 'unicorn' on Euronext Paris. The company raised €300 million when it went public on June 10, 2021 and is now actively investing in the continued growth of the business.

We have made it our mission to best serve artists and labels at each stage of their development in the digital world. We are a company who cares deeply about our people and our creator community, advocating for diversity, equity, and inclusion across all of our platforms and throughout our business. Innovation keeps us working hard for our artists and collaboration drives the way we work, as well as the way we approach our company’s social responsibility.
