Job description

On a mission to make musicality as common as literacy

At Yousician, you’ll help shape the future of music education and profoundly impact the lives of millions of people.

Yousician impacts and enriches the lives of millions of people by empowering them to play music they love, learn something new, and nourish their well-being. We merge music and technology to amplify the everyday. We reimagine how people learn music so that everyone can play.

And you don’t need to be a musician to join Yousician!

We’re a band of passionate professionals who care deeply about quality, creativity, and impact. From beginners picking up their first instrument to lifelong players, we build experiences that make learning music feel personal, joyful, and motivating.

We’re building the future of music education: an AI-powered music teacher you can talk to, one that understands your goals, adapts to your level, and gives you meaningful, personalized guidance.

You’ll join a small, senior team working end-to-end on this vision — from user experience and animation polish to backend integrations of AI-driven features. This is a hands-on role with real ownership, where your technical decisions will directly shape how millions of people learn.

If you enjoy crafting smooth, responsive interfaces, aren’t afraid to dive into backend code when needed, and want to work on a product that blends AI, creativity, and education, this role is for you.

• Build and evolve user-facing apps using Expo / React Native, with a strong focus on responsiveness, motion, and feel.
• Create smooth, delightful animations and highly responsive UIs that feel great on real devices.
• Work across the stack when needed - from frontend logic to backend APIs and AI integrations.
• Help define technical direction in a small team, balancing speed with long-term quality.
• Work in a fast paced startup-like environment, without the typical downsides of startups.
• An experienced developer with hands-on experience building apps with Expo and React Native.
• Comfortable working on AI tool integrations, even if they introduce breaking changes every two months.
• Strong eye for responsive design, interaction details, and animation quality.
• Solid TypeScript skills and experience shipping production applications.
• Curious, collaborative, and excited about experimenting with new product ideas and AI-driven experiences.
• Someone who cares deeply about building products people genuinely love to use.
• Experienced the problem we want to solve: You have tried to learn an instrument, but you didn’t get far.

Nice to have (but not required):

• A bit of experience with Unity or C#. While you won’t be working with these technologies day-to-day, the rest of the company primarily uses them and understanding what we already have is beneficial.
• The opportunity to work on a category-defining product at the intersection of music, AI, and education.
• A real chance to influence product and technical direction in a small, empowered team.
• A friendly, international group of music lovers.
• Competitive compensation and benefits.
• The chance to make music learning more personal, accessible, and inspiring for millions of people worldwide.

Build a small sample project of what the future of music education could be. You don’t have to put in a lot of work, but we want to see what kind of ideas you have and the code you write.

Send its source code to us with your CV (in English).

We are a profitable, fast-growing company, and we are just getting started. As a Yousician team member, you’ll work on the cutting edge of technology, business and education with great career opportunities ahead.
