Hi! So I've sent one application already yesterday, but I think that my message to Hiring Manager was pretty lame. I'm often confused about what to write because usually I'm being asked to do that for companies that develop something that I don't really care about and hence I don't know what to say. But Deezer is very different from those, so I've decided to apply one more time, just to share my thoughts in a better way.
So again, why do I want to join Deezer?
- It's a music streaming platform that is works perfectly. (At least it did, currently I'm not a user, but the aftertaste is still perfect). And taking under the consideration the amount of users, I think that it require a pretty good infrastructure setup. And it always sounds interesting because I think that there might a be a lot of frankly challenging tasks that I would be happy to be working on.
- Also, after working in a very professional environment for some time, I appreciate a good team. But I've only started to understand what a good team is after working in very unprofessional one. And I believe that in such company as Deezer it wouldn't be possible to have unprofessional team, because then I'm not sure how the project would be able to survive such workloads.
- It's a music streaming platform and as a musician myself I want to work on something that is important to me as well as interesting. And I want to be inspired by my job and I want to feel that I'm doing something important everyday.
- This job is on-site in France, that sounds awesome, and after living in Germany for some time, I've got some thoughts about moving to France.
- Despite using Spotify, I believe that Deezer is better.
I've been very lucky with teams before. And I used to think that it's always about the same level of expertise when it comes to Devops/SRE/Infrastructure, but turned out, no. And now I'm willing to get back to that trail. I'm used to having mature conversations and planning, and making informed decisions. I'm used to non-toxic environment where anybody has an ability to speak and to be heard. And again, I can't believe that it's possible to build such platform without having conditions like that.
