Job Description
The Rights Systems team is driving the technical foundations of a step-change for Spotify’s business by enabling the distribution of UGC content across the platform. This challenge involves detection of rights-protected intellectual property within user-generated content (UGC) and facilitating rightsholder and creator management of both the rights-protected IP and the secondary content. The journey ahead will present the team with the chance to collaborate with teams across the company (Content Platform, Financial Engineering, Label Partnership, Licensing, and others) in order to create and present novel content datasets to end-users. As the product matures, the team will stretch as they scale to broader use cases and a larger user base. Being a cornerstone of the company’s video-first strategy, the rights systems space will be an area of investment and growth for the company over the next 2-5 years, and the team is projected to grow from a single squad to a product area.
