Partner Integrations Team Java Developer

Our team builds client facing services for streaming, interactive and traditional terrestrial radio services.  

Our solutions allow customers to create and publish channels of music that listeners can consume on the web and in apps. The products take the form of public APIs that have to be robust and capable of scaling to high volumes of usage, as well as client facing dashboards.

Listeners choose channels that suit their music tastes and combine channels to create personal experiences that blend different kinds of music into one seamless stream.

We’ve been working on a hybrid radio service that connects traditional broadcast radio, digital radio and online streaming, as well as a managed DMCA compliant radio playback service that manages all aspects of music licensing, catered for specific clients such as Grandpad and Klassik Radio .

Our broadcast metadata software allows stations to increase their visibility on DAB, digital and satellite TV and IP radio platforms by giving broadcasters tools that let them manage their metadata for each of the platforms on which they broadcast.

Our focus is to deliver efficient, reliable solutions for 7digital client business problems as well as offering best in class technical solutions.

Customers include industry leaders such as the BBC, Bauer Media and Global Eagle Entertainment as well as hardware partners such as Pioneer.
