We connect all players of the industry to amplify the value of music.

For those who make or use music, we allow them to plug in to our O.S. to ease operations, increase earnings, and get in sync with everyone else.

Who the FAQ are BMAT

BMAT started in 2005 when a group of engineers with a passion for music decided to spin-off from an audio research lab in Barcelona. We’re now over 160 people, spread across Barcelona, Buenos Aires, Lima, Rio de Janeiro, London, Paris, Nairobi, Oslo, Tel-Aviv, Singapore, Tokyo, Manila, Bangkok and Lagos.

We’re a team of pretty decent people who enjoy working with each other. We’re open-minded and well-traveled, coming from all parts of the world. We’ve got rappers, producers, cello players, DJs, and songwriters. The passion for music, the excitement for innovative technology and Barcelona as a backdrop has proven to make a good combination.

Join us from wherever you are on our mission to help make music live forever.

We say there’s a BMAT touch. We believe it has to do with being passionate, obsessive, nice, generous, honest, self-motivated, entrepreneurial, intrepid, crazy, extraordinary, creative, agile, human, friendly, smart, witty, talented, naive, optimistic, surprising, sensual, and nerdy, but not very hipster (unfortunately). Our way of being is always sprinkled with transparency, perseverance, flexibility, open-mindedness and trustworthiness.

The project

As part of the Charts team, you will directly contribute to the generation of the official music charts we compile for the recording industry associations in more than 20 countries. We generate these charts from extensive reports we receive from the most popular online music services in each of the countries in which we operate.

Your focuses will be to ensure that the charts and reports we generate are accurate, and to identify and understand underlying trends in them. You will work closely with our business and engineering teams in making our processes more efficient and in developing ways to capitalise on your findings.

We are looking for someone capable of digging deep into datasets, able to analyse data from multiple angles and to present the findings in the most suitable way for a given audience. You must be resourceful when it comes to adopting new tools and learning new skills. A passion for music and a strong interest in understanding the music industry will be key for shining in this position. Excellent communication skills are essential, as the role will also involve being in touch with our customers and partners.
