Jobs at Bandcamp

How We Work

There is no Bandcamp office. A third of us are in San Francisco, the rest are sprinkled around Seattle, Melbourne, Montreal, Hawaii, D.C. and Vermont. We get together all day and night on IRC, design and document everything in a wiki, do a daily Skype call that is exactly like the start of Hill Street Blues, and meet in person a few times a year for strategizing, working head-to-head and blowing things up. If the thought of setting your own work hours and environment makes you think of laundry and masturbation more than eight times a week, we're probably not for you.

Support Maven

Bandcamp is looking for a bright, convivial individual to join the ever-vigilant support crew. As a member, you will:

  • Use your vast, yet particulate knowledge to field 50-100 far-ranging inquiries a day.
  • Relay amorous missives, thoughtful suggestions, and potential early-warning signs to the engineering team.
  • Work with the rest of the crew to chip away at bugs, improve the UX, and strengthen the knowledge base.
  • Have a work schedule that overlaps with GMT-7 at least four hours each day, wherever you are.

Still with us? If so, we assume the following to be true:

  • In your collegiate years you enjoyed renown as the resident computer whisperer.
  • It took time for you to come to terms with the new Firefox release schedule.
  • You've received props from the Dalai Lama himself for your equanimity.
  • You are sad that Siri is wittier than most tech support lines.

If you are now struck with that uncanny, giddy feeling, we'd love to hear from you. We are looking for a superb writer with an appreciation of lexical craftiness, so along with your resume & a blurb about why you'd like to work at Bandcamp, please include a link to your blog or that forum where you are the benevolent übermod.

Shall we play a game? To apply, write to email address scavenger hunt.
Find the four mystery letters by answering each of the two-part questions below, and summing the digits of both answers to give the Nth digit of the alphabet.

For example, if the answers to a question were "2 hours 49 seconds" and "30 yottabytes," the mystery letter would be 2 + 4 + 9 + 3 + 0 = 18 = R. OK, here we go!

  1. What is the width of Custom Header images? How many embedded player sizes are available for Tumblr?
  2. What is the duration of the first track on the November 14th album of the week? What is the revenue share % for physical goods?
  3. How many alphanumeric characters are in a download code? What number is hidden at the end of this line?
  4. What is the maximum initial size (in MB) for track uploads? In Defender, an alien lander is worth how many points?
