About this role.
Spotify is hiring a Frontend Engineer to build and evolve Spotify Rights Center, an enterprise rights-management platform for music labels, publishers, and other rightsholders. The role centers on TypeScript and React development for complex, data-intensive workflows involving permissions, disputes, policy management, and large datasets. The engineer will collaborate closely with product, design, research, and backend teams while integrating APIs and maintaining accessible, performant, well-tested interfaces. This is a product-focused software engineering role with end-to-end ownership from discovery and requirements through deployment and iteration. The position is based in London or Stockholm with flexible work-from-home arrangements and some in-person meetings.

Sample interview questions
I would separate server state from local workflow state, using a query or caching layer for API data and a clearly modeled client-side state machine for the dispute journey. Permissions, validation rules, and step transitions would be explicit, while draft changes would be preserved and conflict handling would be designed for concurrent updates.
I would use server-side filtering, sorting, and pagination or cursor-based loading to avoid loading the full dataset into the browser. The UI would use virtualization where appropriate, debounced filters, clear loading and empty states, accessible table semantics, and resilient error and retry behavior.
I would establish accessible component primitives, use semantic HTML first, maintain visible keyboard focus, and test interactions with keyboard and screen-reader expectations. Automated accessibility checks should be supplemented by manual testing of high-impact workflows such as forms, dialogs, tables, and multi-step processes.
I would first document the user need, required data, expected states, and edge cases, then work with backend engineers to agree on an API contract. I would consider response shape, pagination, authorization, error models, versioning, and observability so the solution is reliable for both the frontend and future consumers.
I use a layered strategy: unit tests for pure business logic and components, integration tests for key state and API interactions, and end-to-end tests for critical user journeys. I prioritize permissions, validation, error recovery, and high-value workflows, while ensuring tests are stable and focused on user-visible behavior.
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.
