About us
Most people dream of being able to play an instrument – and at flowkey, we’re dedicated to making that dream a reality. With our innovative app, we provide an easy and motivating way to learn to play the piano. Since our founding in 2014, flowkey has become one of the leading players in this field, helping millions of people worldwide discover the joy of piano playing.

We believe different perspectives drive creativity and innovation, which is why we celebrate our differences and offer equal opportunities for everyone. Our goal is to create an inspiring environment where both personal and professional growth are not only possible but actively encouraged.

Where you come in
As a Software Engineer in flowkey’s Product-Led Growth team, you will work alongside our world-class engineering and other cross-functional product teams on a diverse, modern tech stack. Together, we will work to solve our new users’ most pressing needs across a range of codebases and technologies spanning from web, to server, to mobile. Every new user of flowkey will benefit from your work as they join the millions of users from around the world who have already begun to play the music they love.
In daily collaboration with the cross-functional Product-Led Growth team, you will work on the full TypeScript stack to optimize onboarding, messaging, subscription journeys and other touchpoints that drive user activation, engagement, and conversion.
