Job description

Podcast R&D is a product and technology team within Podcast Vertical at Spotify, focused on building best-in‑class tools for creators. We own the platforms, tools, and features that power the creator experience allowing podcasters and publishers to host, create, and distribute their content, grow and engage their audiences, and earn revenue on Spotify.

This Backend leaning Full Stack role is part of the New Value area, a cross‑functional team working across business, product, design, and insights to identify, evaluate, launch, and scale new content verticals and revenue models. Our ambition is to evolve the Podcast Vertical into a general‑purpose creator and publisher platform that delivers meaningful value to Spotify Premium and drives over $1B in incremental revenue.

You’ll play a key role within a diverse, distributed squad focused on subscriptions and fandom experiences - including Synced Feeds, the creator tooling that drives subscription awareness and conversion on Spotify; the Spotify Open Access API (SOA), which enables third‑party‑hosted subscriptions; and new first‑party products in the subscription content space. In the year ahead, the squad will focus on building a new, scalable version of Spotify’s native subscription offering, enhancing Synced Feeds, and evolving SOA. Put together, these efforts are establishing a strong foundation for creators of all sizes to monetize their fans directly on Spotify.

What You’ll Do
  • Design, build and maintain scalable backend services (Java)
  • Be an active part of creating and evolving APIs and services that connect user experiences with internal scalable infrastructure, while applying product requirements
  • Drive improvements to system architecture, performance, and developer experience
  • Develop and enhance our user‑facing layer and frontend SDKs (React/TypeScript)
  • Collaborate closely with a talented group of engineers, product managers, designers and data specialists across multiple teams
  • Contribute to technical discussions and help shape platform decisions
Who You Are
  • You are experienced in designing and developing backend applications in Java.
  • You have a solid understanding of React, and TypeScript and are passionate about delivering end‑to‑end experiences and software architecture across the back‑end, front‑end, and the APIs that glue them together.
  • You have a growth mindset, are curious, and are not afraid to be experimental. You share your ideas and continuously improve yourself and the team around you.
  • Experience with infrastructure‑related technologies is a plus.
  • You care about agile software development and a culture of constant learning and improvement.
  • You have excellent analytical and problem‑solving skills and can communicate your ideas.
  • You have experience and passion for mentoring and encouraging collaborative teams.
Where You’ll Be
  • We offer you the flexibility to work where you work best! For this role, you can be within the North Americas region as long as we have a work location.
  • This team operates within the Eastern Standard time zone for collaboration.

The United States base range for this position is $150,000 - $189,000 plus equity. The benefits available for this position include health insurance, six month paid parental leave, 401(k) retirement plan, monthly meal allowance, 23 paid days off, 13 paid flexible holidays, paid sick leave. These ranges may be modified in the future.

Spotify is an equal opportunity employer. You are welcome at Spotify for who you are, no matter where you come from, what you look like, or what’s playing in your headphones. Our platform is for everyone, and so is our workplace. The more voices we have represented and amplified in our business, the more we will all thrive, contribute, and be forward‑thinking! So bring us your personal experience, your perspectives, and your background. It’s in our differences that we will find the power to keep revolutionizing the way the world listens.
