Job description

The Rights Systems team builds and operates Spotify Rights Center (SRC), Spotify’s rights management platform that enables the company and its partners to identify, manage, and enforce music licensing rights across creator- and artist-generated content.

Comparable in scope to YouTube’s Content ID, SRC is designed specifically for Spotify’s ecosystem and plays an important role in supporting new formats like video and other emerging content types. Over the past year the team launched SRC from inception to a fully operational production platform, now live and used by real rightsholders.

The platform includes automated content scanning, policy management, enforcement pipelines, dispute workflows, and analytics. The team has grown from a single squad to three squads (approximately 29 engineers, designers, and product specialists) and continues to scale as a strategic investment area for Spotify over the next several years.

What You'll Do

• Build and evolve the Spotify Rights Center web application used by music labels, publishers, and other rights holders to manage how their content appears on Spotify
• Collaborate closely with product managers, designers, and backend engineers to deliver intuitive and high-quality user experiences
• Develop complex workflows that support large datasets, territory-level permissions, and multi-step processes for managing rights and disputes
• Integrate frontend systems with multiple backend services to support scalable and reliable data flows
• Write performant, accessible, and well-tested frontend code using modern development practices
• Partner with backend engineers to design and evolve APIs that support the needs of the product
• Contribute to product discovery and ideation with engineers, researchers, and product specialists
• Help improve engineering practices and advocate for strong frontend architecture and quality standards
• Support a collaborative team environment that encourages learning, experimentation, and growth

Who You Are

• You have experience building modern web applications using TypeScript and React or a similar framework
• You are comfortable managing complex application state and data flows
• You have experience integrating frontend systems with APIs such as REST, gRPC, or GraphQL
• You understand how to design responsive interfaces that handle loading states, pagination, streaming data, and error handling gracefully
• You care deeply about creating intuitive and accessible user experiences
• You have experience building enterprise or B2B applications with complex workflows, permissions, and large datasets
• You write high-quality code and validate it using modern testing approaches such as unit, integration, or end-to-end testing
• You take ownership of solutions from requirements through deployment and iteration based on user feedback
• You enjoy learning new domains and problem spaces and collaborating with teammates to solve meaningful problems

Where You'll Be

• This role is based in London or Stockholm
• We offer you the flexibility to work where you work best! There will be some in person meetings, but still allows for flexibility to work from home
