Why The Hidden Jams?
Every artist has a catalog full of songs that never became hits. Tracks that didn't get the push, the playlist placement, or the moment, but are just as good as the commercial hits and often better. The Hidden Jams exists to help music fans find the songs that were meant for their ears by going directly to the people who know each artist the best, their own fans. We're a 501(c)(3) nonprofit building a platform dedicated to song-level discovery - the hidden gems and deep cuts that even dedicated fans might have missed.
What makes this different
We are a small, ambitious team working at the intersection of music, technology, and recommendations, and you'll have real ownership from day one. The work you do will shape the product, the culture, and how people discover the music meant for their ears. We're based in Athens, GA (one of the best music towns in the world), and are building a Wikipedia-like resource that will live long beyond any of us. Being a non-profit allows us to be laser-focused on our core mission to surface each artist’s hidden gems, while identifying their deep cuts and rank-ordering their catalog.
Who we're looking for
We hire people who are positive, supportive, self-starting, and genuinely excited about what great technology can do for music. Whether your background is in engineering, product, design, or operations, we want to hear from you if this resonates.

About The Hidden Jams
The Hidden Jams is the cheat sheet for music discovery.
As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, The Hidden Jams leverages the wisdom of fanbases to sort artist catalogs, rank songs, identify deep cuts, and surface the hidden jams that deserve more recognition.
Think Rotten Tomatoes, but for music catalogs.
Our mission is to help fans discover better music through the collective voice of other fans—not algorithms. Every ranking helps uncover the songs that should have been the hits.
As we continue to grow, we're looking for a passionate Social Media & Community Intern who wants to help build a fan-powered movement around music discovery, artist fandom, and community-driven storytelling.
