About the role

Every great song has a story behind it: a sample flipped into something new, a melody borrowed and reborn, a classic reinterpreted for a new generation. WhoSampled is where those stories live. WhoSampled is the world's leading database of music samples, interpolations, cover songs, and remixes. Built over more than a decade by a passionate community of over 40,000 contributors, and verified by a dedicated team of moderators, it's become the definitive archive of music's creative lineage — visited by millions of fans each year. In late 2025, WhoSampled joined Spotify, powering SongDNA: a new experience that lets listeners explore the samples, covers, and interpolations woven into the music they love. We're a small team with an outsized impact, and we're growing. As a Senior Fullstack Engineer, you'll be one of the first engineering hires into this team — a genuine opportunity to shape how WhoSampled evolves as a standalone product and as a foundational layer within Spotify's ecosystem. As a small team, our work spans across the stack: you’ll work as much on data pipelines and backend APIs as you will on our web app. The ideal candidate is a generalist at heart — someone who's equally at home writing a Django view, tuning a PostgreSQL query, or shipping a UI improvement, and someone who gets results without waiting for someone else to own adjacent layers.

At Spotify, we are passionate about inclusivity and making sure our entire recruitment process is accessible to everyone. We have ways to request reasonable accommodations during the interview process and help assist in what you need. If you need accommodations at any stage of the application or interview process, please let us know - we’re here to support you in any way we can.
