How hard to find music software dev jobs?


Are there many openings for working on music related to software development?

As a hobbyist musician, features for creating/producing songs commonly pop into mind. It would be nice to leverage the free motivation in a software development job. I’ve done basic searches but maybe I’m missing targeted places to look.

I’ve worked developing creator software for graphics and 3D, but music seems to be a different animal to some degree.

I have the feeling many audio companies are quite nerdy and it's hard to compete with die-hard audio-nerds.

If you are not looking for the core audio development there are however surely more normal dev jobs in these companies too. Bandcamp are all remote btw. but I guess hard to get in to too :).

Generally just pick the job that brings you the closest to where you want to be and move on every 1-2 years to something closer to your dream.
