Data Engineer - Music
Remote
The Rights Systems team is driving the technical foundations of a step-change for Spotify’s business by enabling the distribution of UGC content across the platform. This challenge involves detection of rights-protected intellectual property within user-generated content (UGC) and facilitating rightsholder and creator management of both the rights-protected IP and the secondary content. The journey ahead will present the team with the chance to collaborate with teams across the company (Content Platform, Financial Engineering, Label Partnership, Licensing, and others) in order to create and present novel content datasets to end-users. As the product matures, the team will stretch as they scale to broader use cases and a larger user base. Being a cornerstone of the company’s video-first strategy, the rights systems space will be an area of investment and growth for the company over the next 2-5 years, and the team is projected to grow from a single squad to a product area.
We are looking for a data engineer with experience building data-intensive services and systems to join the squad. We’re a team dedicated to building the rights manager portal to support a broad range of use cases in unlocking UGC Video for the first time on Spotify. The ideal candidate will have experience in building 0-to-1 products in the music industry domain.
This role will be a founding member and main driver of backend services that powers capabilities that will enable an experience for label and publisher rightholders to handle the usage of their rights-protected recordings and works within existing and new content types (e.g., videos) on the Spotify platform. Eventually as more new content types scale on the platform, you will need to help scale this system to more use cases and a larger customer base. You will have ample opportunity to grow and develop your engineering and leadership skills through project ownership with the support and mentorship of senior and staff engineers on your team. Together with the team you’ll build a supportive, inclusive team culture, ship iterative solutions against an ambitious roadmap, and have significant impact on Spotify’s company strategy and business model.
