À propos de ce poste Engineering Manager - Music chez Spotify

Spotify · Télétravail · New York, NY

The Rights Systems team is driving the technical foundations of a step-change for Spotify’s business by enabling the distribution of new forms of content across the platform. This challenge involves detection of rights-protected intellectual property 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 catalog maximization strategy, the rights systems solution space will be an area of investment and growth for the company over the next 2–5 years.

  • Oversee platform operations including performance, security, incident response, and on-call rotations
  • Encourage a culture of experimentation, continuous improvement, and technical ownership
  • Collaborate with internal teams, including legal, rights operations, and content, to ensure the Spotify Rights Center evolves with regulatory needs and continues to meet expectations of rightsholders
  • Who You Are

  • You support and empower your team to do their best work
  • You have familiarity with the music or media rights domain or similar IP-centric industries
  • You have familiarity with content management systems, legal compliance platforms, or large-scale data pipelines
  • You have familiarity with platform migrations, user access control models, or third-party integrations
