About the role

Original posting from Spotify via Lever

Podcast R&D is a product and technology team within Podcast Vertical at Spotify, focused on building best-in-class tools for creators. We own the platforms, tools, and features that power the creator experience allowing podcasters and publishers to host, create, and distribute their content, grow and engage their audiences, and earn revenue on Spotify.

This Backend leaning Full Stack role is part of the New Value area, a cross-functional team working across business, product, design, and insights to identify, evaluate, launch, and scale new content verticals and revenue models. Our ambition is to evolve the Podcast Vertical into a general-purpose creator and publisher platform that delivers meaningful value to Spotify Premium and drives over $1B in incremental revenue.

You’ll play a key role within a diverse, distributed squad focused on subscriptions and fandom experiences - including Synced Feeds, the creator tooling that drives subscription awareness and conversion on Spotify; the Spotify Open Access API (SOA), which enables third-party - hosted subscriptions; and new first-party products in the subscription content space. In the year ahead, the squad will focus on building a new, scalable version of Spotify’s native subscription offering, enhancing Synced Feeds, and evolving SOA. Put together, these efforts are establishing a strong foundation for creators of all sizes to monetize their fans directly on Spotify.
