Using data-centric strategies, with design and technology principles in mind, we are developing products, tools, apps, and more that deliver actionable insights that help shape strategic thinking and drive business solutions for our labels. The teams goals are to:
• Provide business intelligence and technology solutions for use across the company’s labels and business units

Sony Music Entertainment is looking for a Director of Engineering to help lead our development teams.
As Director of Engineering, you'll be responsible for building out an Engineering team which supports multiple lines of our core business, managing the development process, and defining our technical infrastructure.

An ideal candidate for this role is someone who thrives in a fast-paced, rapidly changing environment and is able to balance solutions that are elegant and scalable, yet simple and pragmatic.
