The EPFL project “Enabling interactive music visualization for a wider community”, funded by the dhCenter UNIL-EPFL, is looking for a Front-end Web Developer.
The envisaged web app will provide an interface to upload music files for interactive visualizations and explorations and the functionality to analyze collections of notes using the discrete Fourier transform.
Remote working is possible and the candidate will be supervised by EPFL researchers Dr. Fabian Moss, dhCenter member, and Dr. Daniel Harasim.
The candidate should be confident with modern web technologies, in particular JavaScript frameworks such as Vue/React/Angular, and visualization libraries such as Vega or D3. Specific musical knowledge is not required but would be an asset. Experience with collaborative projects using Git/GitHub is required.
