What the job involves
- Spotify for Authors (SFA) is the creator platform for the audiobook industry — a web application that gives publishers, authors, and narrators tools to manage their catalog, track performance, and distribute content on Spotify
- We’re scaling toward 100,000 users across a React/TypeScript frontend, Java backend services, and data pipelines that feed into Spotify’s broader audiobook ecosystem
- SFA connects to Spotify’s highest-priority bets: expanding audiobook access, building content creation tools, and shaping discovery surfaces
- We operate with a “short toes” philosophy — contribution has no borders, quality is shared, and we use modern tools (including AI) to reduce toil and amplify creativity
- Build and evolve features end-to-end across a React/TypeScript frontend and Java backend services that power the SFA platform at scale
- Use AI-assisted development tools as a core part of your workflow for code generation, automated testing, and AI-powered code review
- Deliver testable, maintainable, and high-quality code and take operational responsibility for the components you develop
- Collaborate closely with engineers, product managers, and designers to ship impactful experiences for audiobook creators
- Contribute to technical discussions and participate in RFCs and code reviews
- Share knowledge and promote best practices within your squad
