Blokur exhibiting at London Tech Job Fair Autumn 2019

2. Join our band!
Blokur’s mission is to fulfill the potential of the Internet for the creator.
We help musicians and music companies get paid what they should,
when they should.

3. What we do
Did you know that it can take a songwriter up to four years to get paid when their song
is played on the radio or a streaming service?
That’s because the data that tells the world who wrote the song and who owns it is
very often missing, incomplete or out-of-date.
We are tackling this problem at Blokur by building a new system of record for music
rights to make sure that whenever a song is played, the right person gets paid.
Our company was founded from the lived experience of an artist on the front line
of the music industry, and is driven by a diverse and creative team of technologists,
music fans and business brains motivated by our mission to fulfil the potential of
the internet for the creator.
We are off to a flying start – partnered with the world’s biggest and most influential
music companies and artists, backed by top tier investors and growing fast.

4. Our values
Belief in the value and power of creativity
We believe in the power of creativity to solve problems, generate new ideas and drive culture forward
Restless innovation
We will always seek to generate, develop and implement new ideas, whatever the stage of the company
Success based on merit
We should succeed by the value we create for our customers, and our team should succeed based on their
abilities and achievements, whatever their background
International outlook
The world will be more, not less connected in the future, and we succeed when we open ourselves to ideas,
relationships and opportunities across borders

5. Engineering at Blokur
Culture
We are a curious and diverse team with a product-oriented engineering culture. We value creativity,
transparency, ownership and autonomy. The team has end-to-end responsibility for features from
design to commit, deploy, maintenance and operations. For us, Agile is a state of mind and its
principles matter more than any specific practice.
Community Engagement
Our team is highly engaged with the Music & Tech community and is regularly involved in hackathons
and meetup events. We also collaborate on open source projects, like this recent project with the
Digital Catapult for matching across Knowledge Bases.
Tech Stack
Our backend infrastructure is based on Go microservices, although we also have some services written
in Node.js and Python, backed by PostgreSQL and ElasticSearch. Blokur’s front end applications are
written in React Redux and we rely on the Ethereum stack to handle interactions with the blockchain.
All our services are hosted on AWS. Github, Jenkins and Docker help us to make sure our deployment is
robust.

6. Our recruitment process
We’ve designed our interview process with two main goals: for us to get to know
you and for you to learn what it is like to be part of our team. It consists of 3
steps:
Step 1: A call with a member of the Engineering team (30 mins). This is an
informal conversation where you can learn more about Blokur and find out if we
are the right place for the next step in your career.
Step 2: Take-home code challenge (in your own time). You will be asked to
complete a code challenge. We will be evaluating your code style, creativity and
way of thinking. It should not take more than an afternoon’s work and you will
have 72-96 hours to submit it.
Step 3: On-site interview (half a day), where you will meet other team members,
conduct some technical and engineering culture questions with one of our
developers and the CTO. You will also meet our CEO.

7. Benefits
Compensation and retirement
We believe that everybody should share in the company's success, so every member of the team is offered stock options
as part of their compensation. We also match employee pension contributions, because we believe that companies should
share the burden of saving for pensions.
Vacation and time off
We understand that you have a life outside of work, and we want our team to be able to express their whole selves at
Blokur. That means we allow people to adapt their working hours to their needs, to work from home and to manage their
own time off. We also offer generous paid family leave.
Personal development
Learning and personal development is a big part of life at Blokur. Our approach to training new team members is to design
projects that allow you to learn new technologies and concepts through building features. That way learning and building
go hand-in-hand from day one.
Values and quality of life
We believe in building a truly diverse team, and have set specific goals to help us get there, including for one third of new
technical team members to be women (50% within five years) and for at least 30% of interviewed candidates for technical
roles to be from under-represented groups.
