• Deep knowledge of music production workflows on iOS and macOS, with hands-on experience in Apple’s music apps (Logic Pro, GarageBand, MainStage) strongly preferred.
• Proficient in modern content management and version control systems (Git/SVN). Hands-on experience with structured text formats (Markdown, HTML/XML, JSON) is a plus.
