Every great song has a story behind it: a sample flipped into something new, a melody borrowed and reborn, a classic reinterpreted for a new generation. WhoSampled is where those stories live.
WhoSampled is the world's leading database of music samples, interpolations, cover songs, and remixes. Built over more than a decade by a passionate community of over 40,000 contributors, and verified by a dedicated team of moderators, it's become the definitive archive of music's creative lineage — visited by millions of fans each year. In late 2025, WhoSampled joined Spotify, powering SongDNA: a new experience that lets listeners explore the samples, covers, and interpolations woven into the music they love.
We're a small team with an outsized impact, and we're growing. As a Senior Fullstack Engineer, you'll be one of the first engineering hires into this team — a genuine opportunity to shape how WhoSampled evolves as a standalone product and as a foundational layer within Spotify's ecosystem.
As a small team, our work spans across the stack: you’ll work as much on data pipelines and backend APIs as you will on our web app. The ideal candidate is a generalist at heart — someone who's equally at home writing a Django view, tuning a PostgreSQL query, or shipping a UI improvement, and someone who gets results without waiting for someone else to own adjacent layers.
