Summary

As a Senior Marketing Engineer at DistroKid, you will build systems that drive growth. You will operate at the intersection of marketing and engineering, shipping high-impact features and enabling the marketing team to move faster through automation, experimentation, and better tooling. You will also help design and enable experiments across pages, funnels, messaging, and growth loops, using results to drive continuous iteration.

You will work closely with marketing to drive acquisition, conversion, and overall performance across DistroKid’s web properties. This includes building and enhancing landing pages, scaling SEO and content systems, and implementing robust tracking and analytics. You will own projects end-to-end while making sound engineering results, prioritizing effectively, and continuously iterating based on results.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a collaborative environment, is highly self-directed, and is excited about building systems that create leverage rather than one-off solutions.

What you'll do:

1. Own and improve marketing engineering systems that drive acquisition, conversion, and retention.
2. Partner with marketing to identify high-leverage opportunities and translate them into scalable technical solutions.
3. Own projects from concept through launch and iteration, making sound engineering informed-choices, prioritizing effectively, and resolving issues related to performance, functionality, and reliability.
4. Build, improve, and iterate on landing pages, funnels, and other growth surfaces to improve performance.
5. Design and perform rapid experiments, using results to guide future iteration.
6. Implement and maintain marketing tracking, analytics, and attribution systems to aid in better decision-making.
7. Build internal tools and automations that help the marketing team scale effectively and operate more effectively.
8. Use expertise to evaluate, select, and implement marketing technologies that improve execution and insight.
9. Apply AI-driven workflows to areas such as content generation, SEO, personalization, and analytics.
10. Ensure web experiences are reliable, performant, and compatible across browsers and devices.

Qualifications:

1. Strong proficiency in JavaScript and experience with full-stack web development, including but not limited to Ruby, ColdFusion, or Python.
2. Proven experience building and enhancing growth-focused web systems, including landing pages, funnels, SEO, analytics, and marketing attribution.
3. Experience performing A/B tests or growth experiments and using data to drive outcomes.
4. Experience working with CMS platforms and implementing analytics, tracking, and attribution systems.
5. Experience building with LLMs, including prompt design, evaluation, and applying AI to marketing use cases (content, SEO, personalization, internal tools).
6. General curiosity, strong critical thinking techniques and knowledge of how to turn ambiguous problems into concrete solutions.
7. Propensity to work autonomously, oversee projects end-to-end, and ship with a pragmatic, iterative approach.
8. Exceptional communication, both written and verbal, with the ability to articulate technical concepts to both technical and non-technical team members and audiences.
9. Pragmatic approach to development: shipping quickly, iterating based on results, and avoiding over-engineering.
10. Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field or equivalent work experience.

Bonus: 

1. Experience leveraging AI tools to improve efficiency and decision making is preferred.
2. Passion for the music industry and knowledge of its unique obstacles and opportunities.

Location: Remote (United Kingdom, Europe. Canada and USA: EASTERN TIME ZONES ONLY)

Salary: Senior to Staff level; Varies by region — see details below

As a Senior API Engineer at DistroKid, you will be instrumental in building and scaling the API infrastructure that powers our integrations, partnerships, and emerging AI capabilities. You will own the design, development, and evolution of APIs that connect millions of musicians to streaming platforms, third-party services, and cutting-edge AI tools.

DistroKid is a fully remote company with an employee-first culture and excellent benefits.

What You’ll Do

• Own the design and implementation of high-scale backend systems and APIs that power DistroKid’s core platform
• Architect and evolve distributed systems on AWS to handle high throughput, reliability, and performance
• Work across backend, infrastructure, and DevOps boundaries from API design to deployment and system operations
• Design and integrate with enterprise-grade systems and external platforms to support complex, high-scale workflows
• Lead technical design decisions for complex systems (data models, service boundaries, scaling strategies, failure handling)
• Write production code and remain deeply hands-on in building and improving systems
• Improve system observability, reliability, and performance at scale
• Partner closely with product and engineering teams to translate business needs into robust technical solutions

What We’re Looking For

• 10+ years of experience building and scaling backend systems in production environments
• Strong, recent hands-on coding experience (this is not a pure design/management role)
• Deep experience with AWS (compute, storage, networking, scaling, etc.)
• Proven track record designing and operating high-scale distributed systems
• Strong experience with API design and system architecture in complex environments
• Experience working across infrastructure and application layers (DevOps, deployment, reliability, etc.)
• Experience with enterprise integration platforms (e.g., AWS API Gateway, Azure API Management, MuleSoft, Apigee, Kong, or similar) or building/operating large-scale integration layers
• Ability to own systems end-to-end from architecture to implementation to production operation
• Comfortable navigating ambiguity and making high-impact technical decisions

What This Role Is NOT

• Not a pure backend feature development role
• Not a role for engineers who haven’t coded in recent years
• Not a narrow specialization (e.g., only APIs or only infra)

We are specifically looking for engineers who operate at the intersection of backend systems, architecture, and infrastructure.

Why This Role

• Work on real-world scale problems: high-volume ingestion, global distribution, and complex financial flows
• Own and shape systems that directly impact millions of creators worldwide
• High degree of technical ownership and autonomy
• Opportunity to influence architecture at scale, not just contribute to it

Nice to Have

• Experience with high-throughput systems, event-driven architectures, or data pipelines
• Background in platform or infrastructure engineering
• Experience in high-growth or scaling product environments
