About The Position

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 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.
