Senior Full-Stack Engineer - Artist Success
About The Position
SoundCloud is looking for a Senior Full-Stack Engineer to join their Artist Success team. This role involves taking technical ownership of tools that assist artists in understanding their audiences, growing their careers, and helping the music industry discover new talent. The engineer will work within a multi-disciplinary squad on both frontend (React, iOS, Android) and backend (GraphQL, TypeScript) services, focusing on strategic Artist Success products like the A&R Dashboard, Fan Insights, and artist-facing growth and insights experiences. This is a hands-on role for a technical expert who will drive architecture and execution while remaining actively involved in coding.
Requirements
- 4-6+ years of experience with React and modern frontend development, with the ability to influence architectural decisions and drive best practices.
- Strong proficiency in GraphQL and TypeScript for building reliable APIs and services.
- Familiarity in Golang or Scala, and a strong understanding of storage, querying, and data-intensive systems such as BigQuery and SQL.
- Strong capability in Infrastructure as Code, particularly Terraform, and container orchestration.
- Ability to explain complex technical trade-offs to non-technical stakeholders and collaborate effectively across engineering, product, design, and data.
- Demonstrated ability to leverage modern AI and agentic tools to improve quality and velocity, while applying sound judgment around when human expertise is essential and maintaining code quality, product standards, maintainability, and user experience.
Nice To Haves
- Experience with native iOS or Android applications is a plus.
Responsibilities
- Work closely with engineers, Product Managers, Designers, and other partners to shape the technical direction and roadmap across Artist Success products, including the A&R Dashboard, Fan Insights, and related artist-facing experiences.
- Help the team make thoughtful architectural decisions and build scalable, secure systems that support large datasets and high-performance user experiences.
- Act as a senior technical contributor for a small, expert squad, contributing through architectural clarity, rigorous peer reviews, and a focus on maintaining high execution momentum.
- Work as a peer to Product Managers and Designers to define requirements across Artist Success, turning vague business 'wants' into concrete technical 'hows'.
- Ensure high technical standards across frontend and backend disciplines, contributing to the overall technical health, consistency, and long-term sustainability of the codebase.
- Own the infrastructure and health of your domain, managing deployment patterns, infrastructure as code using Terraform, and ensuring adherence to modern security standards.
- Leverage agentic workflows and AI-assisted engineering as a force multiplier while keeping the needs, judgment, and experience of the people using and building our products at the center of the work.
