The Frontend Engineer II will build and maintain the Spotify Rights Center application, collaborate with teams, manage complex data flows, and ensure high-quality user experiences through modern coding practices.
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.

• Build and evolve the Spotify Rights Center web application used by music labels, publishers, and other rightsholders 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
