Frontend Engineer - Music

About the role

The Rights Systems team is responsible for building and running Spotify Rights Center (SRC), Spotify’s platform for rights management. It helps Spotify and its partners identify, manage, and enforce music licensing rights across creator- and artist-made content.

Similar in purpose to YouTube’s Content ID, SRC is built for Spotify’s environment and is especially important as the company expands into formats such as video and other new content types. In the last year, the team took SRC from an early idea to a live production system that is now used by actual rights holders.

The platform supports automated content scanning, policy administration, enforcement workflows, dispute handling, and analytics. What began as one squad has expanded to three squads, with around 29 engineers, designers, and product specialists, and it remains a major investment area for Spotify over the coming years.

What you will do

• Develop and improve the Spotify Rights Center web app used by labels, publishers, and other rights owners to control how their content appears on Spotify
• Work side by side with product managers, designers, and backend engineers to create smooth, high-quality user experiences

• Deliver fast, accessible, and well-tested frontend code using current engineering practices
• Collaborate with backend engineers on API design and ongoing API improvements
• Take part in product discovery and early ideation with engineers, researchers, and product specialists
