About the role

The Podcast Mission develops strategies and builds products that serve creators and listeners interested in podcast and video content. As the #1 podcast platform in the world, we look to continue improving and scaling the experience of podcasts on Spotify. We build and maintain products like Spotify for Podcasters, Megaphone, and Chartable, and are always eager to provide creators with easy ways to increase their audiences on Spotify and give them new innovative means for monetization.

Midas owns the Spotify for Creators systems that help podcast creators control and enrich how their content appears on Spotify. We build creator-facing surfaces and backend services for merchandising asset features like transcripts, chapters, clips, previews, and more - giving creators the ability to manage how these assets are presented across Spotify.

Our scope is expanding into a new generation of personalized podcast experiences. We recently introduced a system that generates brief, personalized podcast episodes for listeners based on their context and the world around them. As part of the team, you’ll help evolve these early generated-content experiences into durable, production-grade systems that can scale to millions of listeners and creators worldwide.
