Job Description
We are seeking an IT Infrastructure & Systems Administrator to help us redefine the music industry. We've invented a new technology to produce on-demand vinyl records and built a web platform for music creators to create and sell their products worldwide via our store at zero cost.

By 2030, there will be nearly 200 million music creators worldwide (with AI accelerating this even further).
