Jobs at Bandcamp

So you’ve already read our about page? Perfect, then read on!

How we work

Our team is sprinkled throughout the world, with arms, cells, pods, what-have-yous in Oakland, Brooklyn, Montreal, British Columbia, the British Isles, Pittsburgh, Vermont, Paris, and Tokyo. We build our teams with care, attracting kind, smart, funny people who enjoy working together to help artists and fans worldwide. We use a bunch of online collaboration tools to work and entertain each other across time zones, and once a year we all get together in person for a week of trust falls and youthful misunderstandings (all ages welcome, no actual trust falls).

What we offer

• Work from anywhere. You can work for Bandcamp from wherever you want to be, so long as the wifi is strong and your schedule overlaps with your team at least four hours each day. If you prefer a co-working space to your kitchen table we cover the cost, and you’re always welcome to work from one of our as-close-as-we-get-to-an-office offices in Oakland, Victoria, Brooklyn, and Raleigh.
• Generous vacation (as in, no set number of days). We’ll remind you to take some, if necessary.
• Family leave. We have common sense leave, so take what you need. If you’ve been at Bandcamp for a year, your leave is fully paid.
• Matched charitable donations.
• Health, vision, dental, 401k matching, and travel insurance, but these are country-specific, so let’s talk.

Senior Fraud/Risk Engineer

Bandcamp seeks an experienced fraud/risk engineer keen to track, restrain, and outwit an ever-mutating assortment of platform abusers. You’ll be the primary developer and expert authority on potential risks, playing a key role in growing a nascent team into a dedicated, effective, well-run operation.

In this role you will:

• Work closely alongside developers from the systems, payments, and data teams to design and engineer risk-related solutions.
• Implement dashboards and alerts to monitor areas of concern and improve incident detection.
• Regularly gather feedback from front-line support about threat mutations and solution performance.
• Work with new product teams in the planning phase to anticipate new risks and, when possible, avoid them.
• Help the organization develop a shared, pragmatic, suitably paranoid attitude toward risk mitigation

You have:

• 3+ years of experience in fraud/risk engineering for an online marketplace.
• 2+ years of experience working with Ruby (ideally).
• Inspirationally clear communication and reasoning, especially when things get “exciting.”
• An in-depth knowledge of current abuse vectors and counter-strategies.
• Warm knowledge-sharing ties to rest of the security and risk community.

To apply, gather the crumbs (starting with your cookies).

BC Daily Editor

Bandcamp’s hard-working, crate-digging editorial team—the team that publishes Bandcamp Daily—is looking for an ambitious, musically-curious editor to help us tell the stories of artists all over the world who use the site.

About Us: Bandcamp Daily is a five-person editorial team dedicated to showcasing the Best of Bandcamp via interviews, features, album reviews, lists, and more. We publish 4 - 5 pieces per day, which makes for a constantly-moving editorial cycle. We like our pieces to be well-written, factually accurate and, above all, interesting—the kinds of stories only Bandcamp could tell. That’s where you come in.

About You: Your musical appetite is never satisfied. You were one of the first people to tell your friends about the growing jazz scene in the UK, and you can name three of the hottest new stars of the Bay Area hip-hop scene without blinking. You disappear down internet wormholes when you learn there’s a vital drum ‘n’ bass scene in Thailand, or a growing screamo scene in Brazil. You discover the work of a chiptune artist you’d never heard of before and, within an hour, you own their entire discography. Most of all, you are driven to tell the kinds of stories you know readers of Bandcamp Daily will love.

Additionally:

• You have at least two years experience as an editor, and three or more as a writer.
• You are a razor-sharp editor who can spot weak ledes, subject/verb disagreement, poor word choice, and confusing story or sentence structure.
• You have a strong knowledge of jazz, soul, and underground hip-hop.
• You have experience commissioning stories, working with an editorial calendar, and wrangling writers under tight deadlines.
• You have a healthy roster of freelancers you’d love to either continue working with, or work with again.
• You have a long list of story ideas that are considered “too niche” by larger publications.
• You are comfortable working with WordPress and Google Docs.
• You love Bandcamp, you believe in our mission, and you would love to be a part of it.

Please send a resume, three links to published work, a 100-word review of a recent Bandcamp album you love, and one 100-word pitch for a story you think would be perfect for Bandcamp Daily, to bceditor@bandcamp.com. Although other positions at Bandcamp can be based anywhere, we are looking for New York-based candidates for this role.
