Head of Development - join highly disruptive Music Tech Company founding team at elasticStage Ltd (London, UK)

We are a start-up that has been working in secrecy for almost three years on revolutionary new technology to disrupt the physical music market. We produce on-demand Vinyl records, CD, merchandise, at no cost to the artist or record label and pay them monthly royalties in to their bank accounts, almost anywhere in the world.


The first production plant will be built in around the London M25 area using our own in-house developed tech and cutting edge digital print and finishing technology for artwork.


We have been in discussions with the big record labels and the results have been overwhelming. We already secured the first round of funding from some industry leaders (one of them working at Spotify).


We built a hardware prototype of our new on-demand Vinyl records technology and demonstrated it already to the record labels. We are now building the actual production hardware, which will be finished in a few weeks.


This is an opportunity to join the founding team of a very advanced project, with top-level people from the industry on board. We will start the A-round in about 1-2 months to secure the funds for full public launch and would like to have a head of development as part of the founding team for this. In return you will receive equity of a possibly very lucrative global business. Once we receive funding we must be able to scale rapidly. Our company will have production and fulfilment centres, plus offices around the world. The developers will be based in central London together with the management.


Our web platform is already at a very advance stage. You would be taking over from the CEO who was the lead for three years.

  • Hire and build a team of the most talented engineers and designers in the music industry

  • Help to build/design the HQ for software engineers in central London

  • Build consumer design tools for print on-demand/pdf artwork

  • Work with new technology in a highly-collaborative, agile environment

  • Report to CEO (maybe later a CTO, with a chance to become the CTO yourself)
