Build and enhance features across a React/TypeScript frontend and Java backend for the SFA platform, using AI tools and promoting best practices.
Spotify for Authors (SFA) is the creator platform for the audiobook industry — a web application that gives publishers, authors, and narrators tools to manage their catalog, track performance, and distribute content on Spotify. We're scaling toward 100,000 users across a React/TypeScript frontend, Java backend services, and data pipelines that feed into Spotify's broader audiobook ecosystem.
SFA connects to Spotify's highest-priority bets: expanding audiobook access, building content creation tools, and shaping discovery surfaces. We operate with a "short toes" philosophy — contribution has no borders, quality is shared, and we use modern tools (including AI) to reduce toil and amplify creativity.
What You'll Do
- Build and evolve features end-to-end across a React/TypeScript frontend and Java backend services that power the SFA platform at scale
- Use AI-assisted development tools as a core part of your workflow for code generation, automated testing, and AI-powered code review
- Deliver testable, maintainable, and high-quality code and take operational responsibility for the components you develop
- Collaborate closely with engineers, product managers, and designers to ship impactful experiences for audiobook creators
- Contribute to technical discussions and participate in RFCs and code reviews
- Share knowledge and promote best practices within your squad
Who You Are
- You have experience building web applications across the stack. TypeScript and Java experience preferred.
- You're motivated to learn, take on new challenges, and T-shape
- You think product-first while building tech solutions
- You're comfortable using AI tools and agents to support your development workflow
- You're comfortable with modern infrastructure practices (CI/CD, containers, cloud platforms) and care about observability
- You communicate clearly and collaborate well in a distributed team
- You're pragmatic and motivated by solving real problems for creators
Where You'll Be
- This role is based in Stockholm or London
- We offer you the flexibility to work where you work best! There will be some in person meetings, but still allows for flexibility to work from home.
